With a somber and somewhat mournful tone, this anthem would be a good choice for Holy Week or Communion. The text by the late J. Paul Williams, is written from the angels’ perspective as they watch the events of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday unfold. The anthem ends with a personal application by gently quoting the hymn “I Stand Amazed”: “How marvelous, how wonderful is my Savior’s love for me.”
