One Day within Your Temple

With text inspired by Psalm 84, this reflective yet joyful song of praise expresses trust in and longing for God. The gentle and flowing melody intensifies during the verses, then returns to the expansive refrain with added depth. This assembly-friendly piece is scored for SAB choir, keyboard, and guitar, with included instrument parts for oboe and cello, and is well-suited for use both during Easter season and during Ordinary Time, also for specific celebrations such as the Rite of Acceptance, Rite of Election, as well as the dedication of churches and altars, and parish anniversaries.
