O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

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.
