A Whispered Prayer
(Spirit's Breath)
Original Text and Music by
Ennis Fruhauf
Notes
A Whispered Prayer is a four-verse hymn that sings of the healing powers of the Lord as manifested in daily life by the forces of nature and spirit. The text describes the parallels between strife and healing, storm and appeasement, and between gathering forces and their resolutions -- all as manifestations of a greater plan, of the unseen and invisible workings of an omnipresent Spirit.
The full score offers the hymn (for unison voices) with an organ accompaniment, in which the first three verses are sung in sequence, followed by a brief organ interlude, and then ending with a free harmonization of the fourth verse. An alternate score presents all four verses with accompaniment, in traditional hymn format and suitable for congregational distribution.The text is appropriate for general church occasions and seasons, as well as for times of tribulation. The melodic line is supported by the accompaniment; it is readily singable and adapted to congregational use. The full score could be used effectively as a unison anthem for choir and organ.
