Eleven optional handchimes in the upper, 3-octave range add a touch of reverence to this setting of the favorite old hymn. Flowing and soothing rhythms accompany the gentle melody, but, like many a prayer, the music grows more fervent and strong calling for adamant chords in quarter-note rhythms. The final section combines these two thoughts. 82 measures.
