IN PERFECT LIGHT SATB a cappella

Duration 5 mins

music by Juhi Bansal, text by Sarah Williams (from The Old Astronomer)


Though my soul will set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. adapted from The Old Astronomer by Sarah Williams (English, 19th Century)
