This is a traditional folk song from Newfoundland, Canada. The words paint a picture of the fishing industry and the culture that evolved around it. The accompaniment is meant to emulate the sounds of instruments used in the Newfoundland region, such as squeezebox, pennywhistle, fiddle, acoustic guitar, and bohdran (or other low-pitched frame drum). The conductor may add some of these instruments in lieu of--or addition to--the piano accompaniment.

The effective choral setting is based on texts by the Latvian national poet Velta Toma whose works are characterized by her having lived in exile in Canada for decades. At the heart of her Latvian Prayer, too, is the yearning for love, family ties and a certain melancholy patriotism. The full symphonic sound of the catchy choral piece is not only due to the organ accompaniment, but also to the division into eight voice groupings.
