This is the fourth movement of the Requiem. Other movements can be found here:
SATB and Organ
c. 7’15”
In this movement, an unaccompanied verse of singing is followed by an Organ Interlude based on the opening melody.
There a fully choral version of this movement with all three verses, which can be found here.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Come unto me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast.’
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)
