I actually blogged this way back in 2011 because it was chosen to be in AOV NG, but I will highlight it again because it is a lovely wedding song with other applications, and to note it’s availability in Hymns and Spiritual Songs Vol 1, which is available at Liturgical Song.
Based on the famous passage from 1 Cor 13, this song has liturgical uses beyond weddings and in typical fashion, Mason lists them under the title: 8th Sunday Ordinary Time, Common Mass of Holy Men and Women, Reception into Full Communion of the Church, Mass for Charity, and Mass for Relatives and Friends.
I revisited the backing, but it is just BIAB piano noodling rather than his fine arrangement. The score, included with the collection, has all here proper string parts.
Kamahl covered it. Say no more…
I got emotional listening to this because my late mother loved Kamahl.
