Accessible and tuneful, this is a four-verse setting of an 1833 text by Charles William Everest to the English folk melody DANBY. It begins with a solo or section. The second verse features the women's and men's voices in alternating imitation. The third verse is four-part, optionally a cappella. The fourth verse is unison voices with soprano descant. Reassuring and not somber, this anthem might balance out your more austere Lenten selections.
