Composed by Hal H. Hopson. Building Dedication, Confirmation, 21st Century, Praise/Thanksgiving, Commitment/Discipleship. Octavo. MorningStar Music Publishers #50-3069. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.50-3069).UPC: 688670530692. Text: George Herbert.
This text by Welsh metaphysical poet George Herbert was a "shape poem", meaning that in its original printed form in The Temple (1633) it appeared in the actual shape of an altar. The text is a beautiful comparison of the altar to the human heart, set with great care by Hal Hopson to music that is sonorous and satisfying.
