Tenderly flowing with devotion and worship, this stunning original delivers a classic text in a completely new way and brings depth and understanding to its message of grace and mercy. A conservative melody carries the words in the rich lower reaches of the tessitura with a cello-like loveliness. Moving chords impact the refrain and build intensity before giving way to the hopeful words, “In His arms, I have a place, by His matchless grace.” Superb!

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nothing present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, whichis in Christ Jesus our Lord. Alleluia. Amen.†The work expresses hope, triumph and rejoicing; while fitting for memorial and remembrance services in general. it will also be found suitable at Easter and for general use. As an alternative to “Allelulia,†a verse from the Book of Revelation is provided, for use during penitential seasons. “Composer Sir James MacMillan's anthem hits the right note ... He joins a list of composers of royal funeral music stretching back to Henry Purcell and George Frideric Handel.†–The Times.
