[This version may be used, in connexion with the other, for one verse; it is intended for the Choir alone and must be sung without the organ. It should only be attempted by good choirs.]
Note.—This tune is founded on the alternation of 31 and 62 times. This can be easily learnt by a congregation, who will sing the melody by ear. However, should a C. M. tune be thought preferable, Cheshire (No. 109) or Martyrs (No. 449) are also suitable.
The following are also suitable, among others:
- 316 Just as I am.
- 366 Art thou weary.
- 378 Come, O thou Traveller.
- 385 Father, hear the prayer.
- 418 Jesu, name all names.
- 430 Lighten the darkness.
- 439 My faith looks up.
- 456 O Lord, and Master.
- 474 Prayer is the soul's.
- 477 Rock of ages.
- 482 Still will we trust.
- 483 Strong Son of God.
- 484 Take up thy cross.
- 495 The world is very evil.
- 510 We sing the praise.
- 515 Wilt thou forgive.
- 648 Litany of Penitence.
- 736 Lent Prose.
