This beautiful text by Blessed John Henry Newman (1801_x0013_ 1890) implores God_x0019_ s mercy and peace until the end of our days. Musically, multi-faceted composer Christopher Walker_x0019_ s setting is simple and elegant. Both the high and low versions may be sung by a soloist or by unison choir. Lesser skilled choirs could begin with the unison version. This simple anthem may be sung at any time but especially at funerals, All Souls_x0019_ Day, or when the world is in need of God_x0019_ s peace, comfort, and encouragement.
