#129 "Where Can I Turn for Peace?"

I love, love, love this addition to the 1985 hymnbook!  We have used it as a choir number and a congregational hymn.  One year, when I went to the BYU Church Music Workshop, a class was taught by the choir director of the BYU Singers.  He used this hymn in conjunction with a song called "Christ, Whose Glory"--I have the music somewhere, but I don't want to look for it right now.  Anyway, he had us sing verses one and two of "Where Can I Turn for Peace?" and then we went right into "Christ, Whose Glory".  The words of that song fit so perfectly with the hymn.  Then we came back to the third verse of the hymn and added a coda using the last line: "Constant he is and kind, Love without end."  It was also in that class that he taught us to pronounce the /th/ of "without" with the second sound of the phonogram--as in "there".  He told us that it is a much more pleasing sound to pronounce the voiced /th/ for singing because you can keep a pitch on it.  The sound of /th/ as in "bath" cannot be sung, so I always try to remind any choir that I conduct that you should use the second sound of /th/ in the words "with" or "without".
If I ever have the opportunity to conduct a stake choir again, I would like to try this arrangement.
