Words by Samuel Stennett, alt KINGSFOLD, English Fok Melody
Arranged by Stan Pethel
A familiar hymn text and a minor melody are expertly combined by Stan Pethel. Thoughtful and simple vocal part-writing will ensure the singers' success. The third verse incorporates moving choral passages that are accessible yet sound impressive. After a strong final chorus, the piece ends quietly on a Picardy third, creating a sense of hope and expectation.
