So often this classic Appalachian folk hymn is arranged in a somber, minor mode, depicting the awe we experience reflecting on God’s wondrous love, but for this new setting, Jack Schrader envisioned it in a richly harmonic major tonality, emphasizing the joyful, celebratory second and third stanzas. The result is a powerful anthem that finishes with a thrilling, full-voiced flourish. Ideal for Lent and general occasions.
