O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Reflective in feel, this setting of O God, Our Help in Ages Past brings fresh energy and insight to a beloved hymn with a sturdy, soaring melody. After the warm reflection of the opening verses, the original melody is used to bring drama to the words "Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away." The piece concludes by inviting the congregation to join in a triumphant recap of the first verse. An inspiring orchestration by Michael Lawrence is also available.
