Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 2-. This quiet, reflective arrangement by Patricia Hurlbutt is ideal for any calm, meditative moment in worship. A simple delicate opening underscored with haunting chords gives way to a verse with the melody on bass chimes overtopped with delicate treble bell chords. An unexpected key change adds intensity and a sense of urgency before returning to the opening key and fading prayerfully away.

An optional three, full octaves of handchimes are intermingled with the bells in this original work inspired by Christ's prayer in Gethsemane. The chimes are optional, but extra effort should be made to include them, as they add so much to the contemplative nature of the work. The gamut of Christ's emotions is portrayed through quiet, building, and strong passages. Finally, in the last ten measures, one can almost hear Jesus say, Thy will be done. 81 measures.

Classic hymn Opening with the ethereal sound of singing bells and suspended malleted bells, this setting takes listeners and performers on a musical journey. The inspirational original 'B' section originates from the melody itself and leads to the return of the melody, for a final stanza. This time, accompanied by optional arpeggiated chimes. The composition concludes just as it started, completing the musical journey with the heavenly sounds of the singing bell.
