Biografisk notat
George Herbert Salter studied at Oxford and became a minor canon of Manchester Cathedral, where he met Sydney Nicholson. Nicholson founded the School of English Church Music in 1927, and Salter was appointed as Chaplain. One of hs lasting legacies was the establishment of the Musicians' Chapel and Book of Remembrance.The piece is easy, in fact extremely easy, and whilst it is simple in conception it is at the same time subtle . . . Simple, but touchingly effective.

The Church Music Society has rescued this setting, elegant in its simplicity, and Richard Lyne has provided an attractive optional fauxbourdon setting for the middle stanza.
The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicisn (US), May 2009
This setting immediately seems familiar and comfortable, I think due to the timelessness of its simple strophic and syllabic treatment and modal feel.
