Hello Richard, I know this is an old thread. I came across this setting again and was somewhat taken by the melody. I am wondering about the possibility of using this song and would like to hear if you have any further version of it. You can contact me directly at josiah@abcmailbox.net
I like the progression of thought in the first stanza. Second stanza “They’ll her’ld ” twists my tongue a little but as a hymn text that might not matter as much.
