The traditional Gaelic melody often paired with Eleanor Farjeon's hymn is given a gentle, straightforward treatment that contains simple rhythms and only one bell change. Surrounding two settings of the familiar tune is a complementary original melody that serves as an introduction, interlude and coda. The two versions of the arrangement are compatible, making the piece ideal for festivals and other multiple choir events.
