Steven Foster's 1855 tune is paired by this arranger with his own paraphrase of Psalm 126. The arrangement utilized various voicings, though predominantly SATB. Varied accompaniments lead to the third stanza that begins, “Lord, you flow as a river through dry and barren lands,” with a characteristically rippling piano part. Though the assembly can join in the refrain, this makes a solid stand-alone choir piece. 

Beautiful and effortless melody.
