Isaiah
40:1–8.
The
Genevan Psalter tune,
geneva 42, is given a new
treatment with a few
extra measures of
accompaniment material
interrupting the tune in
two places. The middle
stanza is given entirely
new musical treatment,
presumably composed by
the arranger, and the
final stanza returns to
the Psalter tune.
