Up to the Hills I Lift My Eyes

In this very useful anthem, the composer's own metrical version of Psalm 121 is set for two-part mixed voices, with the option for the congregation to join in for one or more verses. Changing meters, judicious chromaticism, and the lyrical rise and fall of the melody make this accessible piece satisfying to sing, with a modulation and descant adding a bit of drama to the final verse. A reproducible congregation page is included.
