Baldwin by William Hauser — Lyrics
Part I

To different climes repair,
Inseparably joined in heart

And still he holds, and keeps us one,
Who walk with him in white.
2. Then let us still proceed
In Jesus' work below,
And following our triumphant head,

About Baldwin
William Hauser's Baldwin opens with a gentle, flowing texture, the SATB voices weaving together in a sweet, devotional mood. The composer builds gradually, the music swelling with a sense of purpose and shared commitment, mirroring the text's exploration of spiritual fellowship and the onward journey of faith. The English lyrics speak of enduring connection through Christ, the strength found in unity, and the ultimate reward of eternal peace. Hauser captures this with music that is both intimate and expansive, offering a moving reflection on the Christian life.
