A unique treatment of this great hymn. The piece opens with a lyrical original countermelody in the flute and cello. The first stanza uses a soloist, and the second stanza follows with unison voices. The third stanza is for a cappella choir, and then culminates with voices in unison, with soprano descant, and countermelody in flute and cello. May be used several places throughout the church year. Part of the National Lutheran Choir Series/NLC Series.
