Interpretation notes:

  • The hymn begins with quarter-note rhythms and flowing melodic lines. 

  • In the chorus, longer note values such as dotted half notes and half notes appear, giving the refrain more weight. 

  • The phrase 'make me a blessing' is repeated four times, with the final repetition reaching the highest note in 'blessing.'
