Hymn Arrangement

Praise the Spirit

Christ is alive

When Jesus died to save us

Humbly I Adore Thee

Adore te, devote receives a comprehensive Dirksen makeover: 1) it’s in 7/8 throughout, 2) the middle verses are backward, in minor, 3) verse 3 goes to E-flat minor for the Lord’s own death, 4) ends with a sweet simple AMEN.

It was beautifully rendered on Quinqugesima 2025 by David Sinden and the choir of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Ladue, Mo. (see video below)

Christ whose Glory Fills the Skies
