The Tune: ST. EDITH was composed by Justin Krecht and revised by Edward Husband. The lyrics for this hymn come from the "Psalter", 1912, alt. PD. Psalm 84 is the inspiration for the text, specifically talking about the beauty of the temple of God and the desire of the writer to dwell there. Interestingly, the second verse of this hymn speaks about how even the birds have found a place to nest in the temple and find rest. Because of this observation, I decided to have the flute play possible bird-like calls as the violoncello plays the melody. Just as the birds have found safety in the temple, the psalmist states that people who dwell there will be blessed and give praise to their God who shields and protects them.
