Language: English. Scripture: Psalms 121.
The composer's own metrical version of Psalm 121 is set for two-part mixed voices, with the option for congregation to join in for one or more verses. Changing meters, judicious chromaticism, and the lyrical rise and fall of the melody make this accessible piece satisfying to sing, with a modulation and descant adding a bit of drama to the final verse. A very useful anthem.
A reproducible congregation page is included.
Tune name: DIVINE PROTECTION.
