This vocal score provides a structured musical arrangement for a choral setting of a traditional hymn. The work by Warren Michel Swenson serves as the first installment in a series of three compositions that adapt familiar hymn melodies into a Romantic choral style. It is designed for performance by SATB choirs with keyboard accompaniment, offering a specific harmonic and melodic interpretation of the source material.

This score is utilized by choral directors and ensemble leaders seeking specific arrangements for liturgical or concert performance. Experts note that the inclusion of optional instrumental parts provides flexibility for varied performance settings.
