This a cappella four verse setting of the hymn tune BANGOR increases in complexity on each verse, beginning with a solo voice and ending in SSAATTBB harmony. The tune, by English hymn writer William Tans'ur, is a precursor to the sturdy, stark early American tunes which followed it. The text contrasts our current state with the hope of God's comfort and care.
