Composer Commentary

Several years ago the American Hymn Association sponsored a hymn-writing competition and sent this wonderful text by Shirley Erena Murray to church music composers across the country. I entered this setting and although I didn't win, I do feel it's a strong setting of the text and is suitable for many occasions.
