| Comments: | There are significant variations in the rhythm of the various arrangements, which may be 3/4, 6/8 or chant. Given the length of this hymn, it is probably a good idea to follow the method suggested in Catholic Worship Book II by singing the refrain antiphonally (beginning and end of hymn) only rather than after every verse. |
