Lord, Let Us See Your Kindness (Psalm 85)

Based on Psalm 85, this two-part setting, accompanied by keyboard, guitar, and solo instrument in C, is simple and straightforward at first glance. The prevailing stepwise motion in the bass, however, admits a degree of smoothly progressing chromaticism that is novel without being disruptive. While many psalms have text-only verses for the assembly, this title has a fully notated assembly edition, which allows this song to be used at other liturgical moments, perhaps at the Offertory or as a Communion song.
