Words by Philip Doddridge (1755) alt. melody adapted by Edward Miller (1790); fourth verse harmonized by Samuel Webbe (1820) / arr. Vicki Tucker Courtney
There are times when one hopes to find an easy, accessible anthem appropriate for communion, but one that is not simplistic. Courtney's arrangement of this familiar hymn, is just that. It is easily prepared in one rehearsal, yet has the depth required for use in this central part of the liturgy. Related Scripture: Malachi 1:12; Luke 22:19, 20; John 13: 34,35
