Bring your hand

This SATB setting of an English text is suitable for services in Lent or Holy Week. The composer draws on the narrative of the Doubting Thomas, where Jesus invites Thomas to touch his wounds. The words of Jesus, Bring your hand and feel the place of the nails and do not be unbelieving, but believing, are set with a directness that supports the affirmation of faith at the heart of the text. The music offers a contemplative atmosphere, ideal for reflection during this penitential season. Roger Petrich’s composition serves as a powerful meditation on faith and doubt, providing a meaningful musical focus for congregational reflection and prayer.
