A simple and easily singable song to the familiar tune MELITA, this piece was written to be used in worship as a way to pray for those who have suffered loss, for the first responders to any crisis, and for all who provide aid and support. A text and arrangement to return to again and again in turbulent times.

This Good Friday anthem was written in 1997 for a large festival choir, though it can be used effectively with small choirs as well. The poignant and little-known text was written in 1975 by Eliza Sibbald Alderson, sister of the celebrated minister and composer John Bacchus Dykes. Like many of her hymns and poetry this text was written at her brother's request, and reflects on the sufferings of Christ. The music begins in solemn fashion and incorporates a great range of emotion. Well-written.

An exciting fanfare by brass and organ sets up the opening unison stanza of this moving arrangement. The a cappella third stanza is independent and quieter. Perhaps not surprisingly, the concluding stanza is tutti, complete with a soaring soprano descant. Note that the brass quintet is necessary for a performance of this concertato (horn in F may substitute for trombone I). The organ part is included in both the full score and octavo editions. Horn in F can be substituted for Trombone I.
