About the piece
A hymn of personal devotion with a very simple refrain that the whole assembly can sing. The edition carries the melody with its text, in 18 measures in 6/8.
How to prepare it
The range is very small, G4–D5 (a fifth), so any assembly can sing it. The difficulty is one of rhythm: the 6/8 is felt in two long pulses, with a gentle sway. Rehearse with the metronome marking only two beats per measure, and let the refrain be the moment of greatest volume and warmth.
When to use it
Suitable for Ordinary Time, in simple celebrations and with communities that are just beginning to sing together.
