Details The words are by John Mason (d. 1694). The hymn tune was written and harmonized by Thomas Tallis for Archbishop Parker's metrical psalter. Several hymn books have the tune as "Third Mode Melody", including New English Hymnal (373) which matches it to these words. Vaughan Williams, who chose this tune for his Fantasia, moved the melody to the soprano and changed some note values. This edition attempts to reproduce Tallis's arrangement, and adds a new descant for the final verse. |
