The mood and texture of this piece is simple, limpid, and serene: the peace that passes understanding. Every line in every voice, no matter how understated, is of melodic interest and emotional importance. For solo voice and mixed choir (SATB).

"Easy enough for an inexperienced choir, but with enough room for shaping and styling to satisfy the most advanced ensemble. This is my text set to a gorgeous hymn tune I found in Jutland. The effect is of meditative serenity and simple beauty. A spiritual piece that does not proselytize, this piece is a good study in creating a timbre both rich and transparent".
