This selection begins with the women singing the 1st verse in unison and moving into two-part harmony. The men sing the 2nd verse in unison, dividing into harmony at the words "Keep thy loving arms." The full choir sings the 3rd verse in four-part harmony with a recap of the words "Lasting peace." This number is easy to do with its beautiful harmonies and key changes.
This musical arrangement by Larry R. Beebe is based on the hymn, Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer, with text and music by H. R. Palmer.
