Back when Willow shut its physical media book shop, a got the guitar version of Gather 3rd edition cheaply. I recently realised that I never finished my survey of this three volume tome, with the third remaining to be looked at. Now, between all the other hymn books I have looked at, I figure I will be able to skip many songs because I have looked at them already, but with about three hundred selections to go I can’t have seen them all yet. I still have lots of Australian songs to look at once I’ve done this.
G3 grouped things thematically, and the third volume kicks off in the “Love” section.
This song has a thoughtful text by Ruth Duck and is here set to Hassler’s PASSION CHORALE. AURELIA is suggested as an alternative. GIA also sells this text set to LANGLOFFAN.
The text is here. GIA only seem to have handbells for this setting, but the music is PD.
