| Notes: | Ideally, this song should be sung by the majority of the congregation singing the tune and a choir singing the harmony. If that is possible, begin with the group singing their part fairly slowly, then add a solo voice singing verse 1 and let the congregation join, a section of them at a time, from verse 2. The song may, however, be effectively sung in unison throughout |
