Description:
This hymn of comfort, faith, and conviction is a wonderful choice for funerals, memorial liturgies, and any service related to healing or reconciliation. Warner adapts Henry Francis Lyte’s text to create a melodic SAB setting, beginning with upper voices, then blends all parts beautifully in stanza 3 to illustrate the power of complete trust in God. Equally effective with piano or organ accompaniment.
