Reviews
"The spiritual Give me Jesus, simply and effectively arranged for unaccompanied SATB by William C. Witherup."-Bulletin ofThe Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland, April 1996
"Finally, there is my personal favorite: William Witherup's effortlessly simple Give Me Jesus. Any choir capable of four-part unaccompanied hymn singing will sound great with this piece, and yet it is easy, elegant, and deeply moving. In short, it is highly recommended." -Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians, February 1998
Description A simple, eloquent, and timeless setting of the traditional spiritual, with a short soprano solo. One of the finest anthems we've seen on this tune.
Text
O, when I am alone,
O, when I am alone,
O, when I am alone, give me Jesus,
give me Jesus, give me Jesus.
You may have all the world
but give me Jesus.
O, when I come to die,
O, when I come to die,
O, when I come to die, give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus, give me Jesus,
You may have all the world,
but give me Jesus.
O, When I sing,
O, when I sing,
O, when I sing, give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus, give me Jesus.
You may have all the world,
but give me Jesus.
