Following Martin Luther ("Why should the devil have all the best tunes?") I've set my text deriving from Psalm 23 to the wonderfully modal tune otherwise usually sung to "She moved through the fair". Verse one is an optional solo with a single-line organ accompaniment, with verse two introducing full choir and organ. Unison tenors and basses sing the melody in the a-cappella verse three, surmounted by some ethereal SSA tracery that periodically rises and falls, whilst the final verse is for unison voices and a returning organ that reprises its solo material heard at the start. A short coda includes a final contemplative amen. There is a short forte passage towards the end of the piece but otherwise the music rarely rises above mf, reflecting the mysterious nature of what must be one of the most haunting folk tunes in existence.
