This arrangement is a rather quiet, modal composition suitable for church or concert. A chordal accompaniment supports the moving melodic figure throughout the work.

SKU: BP.HB562

For 3 to 7 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Rated level 3. A mournful minor verse of the Lowell Mason tune gives rise to a hopeful modal version employing unexpected harmonies and propelling eighth notes. Tension builds into a triumphant verse that calms into a peaceful final iteration. A wonderfully expressive choice for throughout the church year.

Recalling the American shape-note tradition of centuries past, Linda Lamb’s arrangement of this familiar tune is deeply inspired by the hymn’s text. The music unfolds with a modal harmonic approach and memorable contrapuntal lines, ending in major with the sense that the Savior has called the listener into His fold.
