As a teen, I never liked the title of this song. As an adult, I'm a little more mature and I understand it. I remember singing this song in the Phelan Ward Choir back in the mid 1980's. I liked how our director had us sing it "as written" with the "Duet" in the verse and the "Harmony" in the chorus. I have notes in my personal hymnbook which tells me that when playing this hymn on the organ I should use the following stops:
Soft reed; 4' flute; add 8' flute.
Not sure what that actually means to me, but I wrote it in my hymnal!
