For 24 measures listeners will enjoy all the good handbell writing for which Kevin McChesney is famous. At measure 25, however, the congregation (or solo voice, unison choir, or C-instrument) joins in to sing the first verse, a text by Charles Wesley: "Lead Me, Lord, lead me in Thy righteousness; make Thy way plain before my face...". This music is a fresh idea!
