Publisher Desc.  A gentle, instantly appealing melody sets this well-known text which is suitable for use throughout the entire Church year, and is an ideal reflective piece in liturgies and concerts, and with its quiet sense of patriotism, national feast days also. The first verse may be sung by a soloist. The third and fourth verse feature a chorale which is sung softly against the melody. The violin part can be played on any C instrument of similar range. This hymntune might provide an alternative to FINLANDIA, which uses the same metre.
