Russell Schulz-Widmar writes a lyrical, lush melody for the beloved Edmund Sears text. Largely in unison with a rich, a cappella middle stanza, the anthem can be accompanied with organ or the orchestration by Robert Scholz (Fl, Ob, 2 Cl, Bsn, 4 Hrn, Strings). A TTBB version, excerpted from the Augsburg Choirbook for Men, is also available.
