With imaginative text painting, Thomas Keesecker's anthem on this familiar chorale brings the text and tune to life. Along with a dramatic musical depiction of the word coming down to earth in the organ accompaniment, the sensitive choral language highlights the text beautifully. The assembly is invited to join on the final stanza, which includes the standard harmony with a soprano descant.
