This is one of my brother’s favorite hymns, to whom this arrangement is dedicated. it is moderately difficult. Both the men and women split into 3 parts in different sections.
For the Heritage Park ward choir, who will be giving the first performance of this piece during Easter Sunday, I’ve included additional mp3s below with each part emphasized.

Lyrics:
1. Our Savior's love Shines like the sun with perfect light,
As from above It breaks thru clouds of strife.
Lighting our way, It leads us back into his sight,
Where we may stay To share eternal life.
2. The Spirit, voice Of goodness, whispers to our hearts
A better choice Than evil's anguished cries.
Loud may the sound Of hope ring till all doubt departs,
And we are bound To him by loving ties.
3. Our Father, God Of all creation, hear us pray
In rev'rence awed By thy Son's sacrifice.
Praises we sing. We love thy law we will obey.
Our heav'nly King, In thee our hearts rejoice.
