My Song in the Night
for SATB chorus and piano
Traditional American Folk Hymn
Published by Elaine Hagenberg Music.
O Jesus my Savior,
my song in the night,
Come to us with Thy tender love,
my soul’s delight.
Unto Thee, O Lord,
in affliction I call,
My comfort by day,
and my song in the night.
O why should I wander,
a stranger from Thee,
Or cry in the desert,
Thy face to see?
My comfort and joy,
my soul’s delight,
O Jesus my Savior,
my song in the night.
This captivating arrangement of My Song in the Night highlights the elegant sensitivity of the traditional American folk hymn. As the tender melody gently drifts through each vocal part, a newly-composed refrain gracefully soars over a lush piano accompaniment. Finally, a shimmering tapestry of descending lines gently brings the piece to a restful conclusion.
