I love the minor key of this hymn. The harmonizations of the vocal parts are really nice, too. I've used this as a choir hymn in the following manner:
Verse 1: Soprano sings measures 1-2; Add tenor on measures 3-4; Add alto on measures 5-6; Add bass on measures 7-8.
Verse 2: Soprano and tenor sing their parts for the entire verse.
Verse 3: Women's voices with soprano I on soprano; soprano II on alto; alto sings tenor line.
Verse 4: SATB with a tag ending on measures 7-8 and change the tenor note to a B-natural on the last note of the tag to bring it to a major chord at the end.
