About Alpha
This SATB setting of Oliver Holden's devotional text offers a contemplative reflection for services focusing on faith, salvation, and the Christian hope of eternal life. The words express profound trust in God's love, finding peace in life's journey and solace in the prospect of death, looking forward to reign with Christ in heaven. Holden's music would provide a gentle, uplifting accompaniment to these deeply personal expressions of faith, suitable for moments of quiet devotion or remembrance within a sacred setting.
