When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

A retuning of Isaac Watts’ great hymn, the tune named for a local street in my home state of Michigan, where my Pastor and his family lived for about five years. The SA harmony of this piece is almost entirely in sixths—my favorite interval. This tune is in Long Meter form, and can be adapted to many hymns of this meter.
