Interpretation notes:
This hymn uses harmonies.
The first line, second measure, has harmonies on the words 'trial,' 'pleasures,' 'send me,' and 'cometh.'
A D# diminished 7th harmony moves to a C major chord.
There is a pattern and sequence in m. 9–10 and m. 11–12; the second time is marked f.
The final two measures use only one note: G.
A crescendo followed by a decrescendo appears on the keywords 'me,' 'Calvary,' 'care,' and 'eternal.'
