Zachary Lavender has arranged this wonderful, old hymn for SATB choir (with some divisi). The text and the tune are simple and straightforward, but the dynamic range is expansive and the arrangement is expressive. On hearing this piece, the congregation will be roused by the middle and, at the end, led to a place of stillness where they can encounter Christ.
