Music: Angela Birkhead-Flight | Text: George Matheson, 1842–1906; Bridge text: Angela Birkhead-Flight

Matheson’s classic text beautifully expresses the depth and constancy of God’s abiding love, the musical setting for which Birkhead-Flight gives us two options. The first is a two-part concertato choral arrangement for treble and bass/baritone voices accompanied by piano and/or guitar; this version is enhanced by both a bridge that presents new musical content with original text by the composer and by an expressive key change for the fourth and final verse. The second option is a simplified unison hymn version without the bridge or key change, which will aid assembly participation.

This song was featured in Choral Packet 109, the Spring 2024 edition of the OCP Choral Review Service, with titles for Lent, Easter and Pentecost usage.
