My Song in the Night, arr. Mack Wilberg | Choral Music

The last several weeks during my church choir rehearsal, we've been learning new music for our upcoming Easter Cantata. But a few weeks ago, our director handed us each a beautiful book of hymn and folk song arrangements by Mack Wilberg. Y'all know how much we love Mack Wilberg, so we were excited to read through a new piece, an absolutely beautiful folk hymn called, "My Song in the Night". The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings it with a full orchestra, of course, but we loved how simply beautiful it was with our small choir and just piano accompaniment. We sang it for the offertory this past Sunday.

O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night

Come to us with Thy tender love, my soul's delight,

Unto Thee, O Lord, in affliction I call,

My comfort by day and my song in the night.

O why should I wander, an alien from Thee,

Or cry in the desert, Thy face to see,

My comfort and joy, my soul's delight,

O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night
My comfort and joy, my soul's delight
O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night


For the love of music and the glory of God,
Rebekah
