A traditional hymn text is given new life with an original melody by Mark Edwards. Set in a mixolydian mode, unison stanzas give way to harmonic two-part writing. A lush 4-part a cappella section with moving parts is set in a parallel minor. The final stanza rises majestically with beautiful 4-part writing, and the piece concludes quietly. An optional Flute (or Violin) part is included.
