% Some other ideas/notes:
% First three beats could expand from unison Bf
% O! -- melodic as in hymnal (baritone sings bass)
% I - IV - I on long notes
% four-count note at end of second phrase is probably more like eight?
% breathing?
% tenor suspension on last "tremble"
% alto eighth notes on last "they" as in hymnal
