Improvisation: Quittez, Pasteurs, Impression Three

Please note that for impression 2,3,4 I am mostly playing off of individual musical gestures within the tune. Other than that, the text is the thing...

Hymn text by Percy Dearmer (1867-1936)

Verse three:

To bow the head
In sackcloth and in ashes,
Or rend the soul,
Such grief is not Lent’s goal;
But to be led
To where God’s glory flashes
His beauty to come nigh.
To fly, to fly,
To fly where truth and light do lie.
