for SATB voices, accompanied with opt. oboe
Words and Music by James B. Harding
"He paid the price, the sacrifice: how great is our God's love!" Opening quietly, keyboard and oboe obbligato (opt., part included) paint the scene at dawn on the day of Jesus' crucifixion. Haunting melodies and richly supportive accompaniment combine with dramatic text images and harmonies to create an unforgettable anthem for Lent and Holy Week, Ascension or Christ the King, Ash Wednesday and Eastertide.
