A simple, yet lovely treatment of the familiar Johann Heermann hymn HERZLIEBSTER JESU. The piece begins with the fourth stanza (For me, kind Jesus) which quickly brings the listener to the heart of this beautiful text. The change in stanza sequence has a powerful affect in giving a meaningful new interpretation of this hymn. Part of the National Lutheran Choir Series.

Voicing: SATB a cappella, opt. Solo
