William David Young blends one of the church's most beautiful chorales -- "Adoramus Te" from Dubois' The Seven Last Words of Christ -- with the timeless hymn "Fairest Lord Jesus." The simplicity and purity of the chorale adds to the simple English text with minimal embellishment. Then Young moves us through a memorable, flowing 12/8 treatment of the hymn. The whole has the universal appeal of Bach. Here is a choral gem not to be missed. Related scripture: Isaiah 33:17; Revelation 4:11; Revelation 5:9-12
