'The Way of Peace' sets words from the Gospel of St Luke, taken from the Canticle of Zechariah ('Benedictus Deus Israel'). A song in praise of John the Baptist, the words prophesy the role which John goes on to play in the life of Christ, even from the moment of his own birth.

This simple setting for two-part trebles sets these words with straightforward harmony and limited voice crossing, making it ideal for younger voices.
