Interpretation notes:
The hymn uses a gentle, rising-and-falling melody set to a repeating rhythmic pattern: a half note, two quarter notes, and a half note.
The second and fourth systems vary this pattern by replacing the first half note with two quarter notes.
The straightforward melody and rhythm support the text about purity and the solemn sacrament.
