O Jesus, My Jesus (HL 35032352)

Set to the well-known Scottish tune AFTON WATER, this lovely anthem is conversation with the Lord in the form of a choral prayer. A flowing accompaniment sets the devotional spirit of the piece and the lyricism of the melody creates many pleasing moments throughout, nurturing the intimacy of the words. Achievable four-part harmonic contours add to the tonal tapestry with unison and two-part textures creating contrast. Endearing!
