As if to reflect our differences, the voicing in this appeal for tolerance builds from unison (or optional solo voice) at the start to full SATB choir in verses 3 and 4. A key change in the fourth verse, and the addition of an optional descant for C instrument coupled with the final line (“seeing gifts in all is not wishful thinking, but a holy call”) brings the piece to a compelling conclusion. A gentle and unobtrusive piano accompaniment supports the beauty of the text throughout.
The C Instrument part is optional.
