Editor: James Gibb (submitted 2011-03-19).   Score information: A4, 5 pages, 73 kB   Copyright: CPDL
Edition notes: Based on #957. The first verse, O gladsome light, is missing and has been added here. Some minor alterations to the underlay have been made to fit the emphasis of the words. The tenor part is high, so it could be sung as SSAAB. Includes a keyboard reduction of the a cappella choral score.
