Whenever I sing or hear the song it makes me think of the King singers because every time they sang with Tabernacle choir, we sang that song together. I have loved it for years and I am so glad to see it in our handbook.

Thank you for this article pointing out such a wonderful, touching hymn. The words of the hymn articulate my feelings exactly at this Thanksgiving time. I shared this article on our family Signal thread. Thank you again!

Beautiful lyrics set to an old, evocative folk tune titled O Waly, Waly.

The melody is familiar; I once learned it in high school choir. I believe the title of it was "The Water is Wide". Glad it found its way into our new hymnal!
