A lilting 6/8 setting of Psalm 103, this could be a useful anthem with the optional handbells, but it was designed to involve the congregation. First the choir sings the antiphon and the congregation copies it. The choir sings a verse, and when the antiphon returns it is sung in canon. Then another verse and then the antiphon with descant and a seven measure concluding coda for the choir alone.
