The ethereal sound of the “singing bell technique” is utilized in the opening and closing sections of Peggy Bettcher’s effective arrangement of Stuart Townend’s popular contemporary Lenten hymn. The addition of malleted suspended handbells and LV ringing create a mood reflecting the mystery and wonder of God’s love for us. This lovely work is 97 measures and is scored in Eb Major and F Major.
