#748: O God in Heaven

[lutheranhymns]

This music is from the Philippines, and I'm not familiar with it at all. I get the sense that it could be kind of catchy if it was fast, or solemn and draggy if it was slow. The harmonization looks fairly complex as well, this is not a boring one for the altos (or the tenors or basses, they have some more complicated rhythms than the melody at times).

A lot of feminine rhymes that are either masculine in disguise and/or just stretches, but I do like "scornful/mournful" in the last verse.
