A unique arragement of one of the most beloved tunes in hymnody that is reflective, colourful, and expressive.

From a 30+ year church musician and teacher: \"I love it? It is full of passion as well as provoking plaintive thought? Really a fantastic work:)\"
From the arranger: \"I did this arrangement in memory of my Dad. He loved music and was a wonderful Christian man. He made a permanent change of address in 2021. While it was unexpected and wounded our hearts, we celebrate as He is now residing in Gloryland!\".
