The Irish folk melody SALLEY GARDENS turns out to be a perfect match for this well-known text. A mood of calm assurance is achieved with this SATB setting and a flowing and supportive keyboard accompaniment. The choral writing is approachable but very lyrical, and there is the option for the congregation to sing on the final verse, with choir descant. Part of the Presbyterian Association of Musicians Series. Reproducible Congregation part included.
