Arranged with sensitivity and reverence, this beautiful brass band setting by Kenneth Downie of Sweet Hour of Prayer captures the gentle, reflective spirit of William Bradbury’s beloved hymn. Inspired by the heartfelt lyrics of William W. Walford’s original text, the arrangement seeks to emulate its winsome quality - offering performers and audiences alike a moment of calm, spiritual reassurance.
 
Set for a medium sized band, this arrangement will be accessible to bands with as few as 16 players, but equally as effective for full band.
