This beloved hymn has been a staple of church music hymnic repertoire for decades. Though the words are originally by Elvina M. Hall and the music by John T. Grape, Robert Sterling has masterfully arranged this hymn for four-part men’s choir. Covering three stanzas and a refrain with each, this piece eloquently walks through the Christian life-from early lack of strength to the promise of redemption and salvation’s completion when we stand before the throne of God.
