Description: This is a hymn that has been performed as an anthem but works well for congregational singing. With or without piano or organ. Words by Jo-Ann Krestan. There are multiple verses. Here is the first:
In the company of women,
in the presence of God's grace,
like the dove with wings of silver,
like the joy on Mary's face.
We are soft'ned by compassion
when we listen with our souls.
And our circle becomes wider and the world becomes more whole.
