Written in a chant-like, speech-inflected style, this SAB anthem evokes deep contemplation, guiding singers and congregation through themes of loss, suffering, and the sustaining presence of Christ. Ideal for Maundy Thursday or Good Friday, offering both poignant beauty and profound spiritual depth for Holy Week worship.
