The lovely gentle melody is supported by warm harmonies and counter melodies with some martellato lifts driving the rhythm. Abundant in serenity, this piece creates an atmosphere the original lyrics describe: "No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I'm clinging: since Love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?"
