A gently flowing piece. Joy F. Patterson's original text recognizes a loving God and our humble relationship with that God. The moderate vocal ranges and constantly moving eighth-note accompaniment enhance the metaphor of rivers in the desert and lend a peaceful assurance to listeners' ears. Choirs will find the harmonies interesting and easily learned. A good anthem for Thanksgiving, for those Sundays in Advent and Lent with desert themes, or a times when we are in need of the assurance of God's loving presence.
