- Editor: James Gibb (submitted 2010-11-22). Score information: A4, 2 pages, 73 kB Copyright: CPDL
- Edition notes: Transcribed from the tonic solfa version in The Anthem Book of the United Free Church of Scotland, 1905. The accompaniment is a reduction of the voice parts. There would presumably have been some harmonic accompaniment for the unison parts, but this is not available in the source; apart from the top line of the brief introduction.
