One of my favorite hymn tunes is O WALY WALY (often associated with the song “The Water Is Wide”) and one of my favorite hymn texts is “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” I often put them together, to the annoyance of those in the pews, but this Lent I decided to do something a little different. I paired Marie J. Post’s text “As Moses Raise the Serpent Up” with the tune O WALY WALY and put it in a medley with “When I Survey” paired with HAMBURG. Then I added a new refrain to wrap it all together into a meaty Lenten sandwich. Listen to the sinfully cheesy demo, or download a side of music score.
