Love how you play the hymn itself (the softer verse took me by surprise), and then *love* the Rawsthorne verse - he has a knack of adding just enough dischord without losing the theme.
He really does, which is largely why I keep coming back to his arrangements - the congregation can still follow the melody, and the organist can add some flair - I try (as best I can) to register to the verses, but unfortunately the divisionals at St. Johns are hard wired so I can't program them (and the selections aren't the greatest...)
