Format : Vocal Score
A sacred evergreen is given new life in the capable hands of a master arranger. Lush vocal harmonies and emotive keyboard writing create a pleasing ambience of warmth and community. Treasured by many as a closer for Lord's Supper observances this adaptation expands beyond the typical one verse congregational moment and brings about a choral offering of beauty and grace. Two presentation options are provided: one as an anthem and shortened version for benediction usage. Score and Parts (vn vc) available as a digital download.
