Dale Peterson has written a new lyrical melody to the familiar gospel song, "I Will Sing the Wondrous Story." Opportunities abound for each section to sing with lovely harmonies and melodic lines. A memorable refrain provides harmonic interest as parts play off one another. The accompaniment alludes to the water references in the text, providing support and creativity. After a strong restatement of the refrain, the piece concludes quietly, underscoring the text's hope of heaven.
