Mark Edwards has written an accessible and vibrant arrangement of this general hymn text. The BEECHER tune is rhythmically altered and placed into a 6/8 meter, transforming it into an enchanting, dance-like melody. The tune is also present in its original common meter but with subtle melodic alterations. Released for the 2015/2016 Youth Cue Festivals. Instrumental parts are available for download at Morningstar Music.

Mark Edwards' arrangement is superb for high school voices. The use of mixed meter provides interest, brightness, and a new sense of joy. This is an excellent setting for any 4-part youth choir or adults who enjoy singing with life and energy.
