Program Notes:

Safely Rest combines the melodies of Amazing Grace and Taps. These two melodies are woven together so they can be perceived as a single unit.

“’Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.” - from Amazing Grace

“All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.” - from Taps
