O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Digital Sheet Music

By Albert L Peace

Item Number: S0.113715

This is a simple setting of "O Love that will not Let Me Go." The text is by George Matheson, 1842-1906. The tune is ST. MARGARET, composed in 1884 by Albert L. Peace (844-1912). The lyric and the melody work well together to express a tender, reverent contemplation of the love of God. The duration is about 2:49. The vocal part should be sung essentially sotto voce, as in quiet prayer. Although I have listed this arrangement as intermediate (the vocal range is only one octave; the melody, though beautiful, is easy to learn), singing it well in sotto voce will require some secure technique and will make the piece more difficult.This arrangement should work well in almost any traditional Christian worship service.  The MP3 Audio Clip is from the CD, The Winds of God, recorded by Richard Joseph Barber.
