#342: There in God's Garden
Composer has the excellently diacritic name Király Imre von Pécselyi. Music is pretty good, there's a "tenor part splits into two at the end." Many years ago my home church choir did a great anthem arrangement, but I have no idea how I'd search for that.
Text is also very good. We get a lot of Jesus=proper nouns with the Tree, identifying him with the cross itself, and the Voice. By the fifth verse, the narrator themselves is echoing back Jesus' words; "into your hands, Lord, I commit my spirit"--once we've found Jesus, we can rest in peace.
