Words by Henry F. Lyte (adapted); Melody by William H Monk (adapted); Arranged by Sally DeFord
Henry F. Lyte wrote several more stanzas for this beautiful hymn than are usually sung. I have chosen to include one of these verses (with a slight modification in tense) since I love the hope and confidence it expresses. The obbligato is written for C-instrument, and may be used for either version. You'll notice that part of it is ommitted in the duet recording. The notes that are omitted are included as optional in the score.
