Text: Philip Paul Bliss.
Verses 1 and 3 are sung in unison by all of the men of the choir. Verse 2 is sung by all 4 parts. The choral parts are easy except for singing in a double meter while the piano is playing triplets. The piano part is rated difficult because of the key signature (D-flat) and movement of the notes. The last verse is almost all written 2 against 3 for the time. This arrangement is also available for SATB (#00564) and as a solo in the collection "Sabbath Song" (#00434 - low voice and #00710 - medium voice).
