Thoug h related to the familiar Johann Crger melody, this is a freely composed anthem on the Franck/Winkworth text. The second verse gives a solo line to each choral part, capturing the sweetness, yearning, and hope the text implies. The final verse portrays the sacred intimacy of Communion and restates the soaring melody from the first verse one-half step higher. Median ranges are used.
