Count the shades of greening

The text of Count the shades of greening paints a picture of nature's abundance, awaiting the rain to bring forth God's Eden. The refrain uses evocative imagery of burgeoning life, while the verses draw from Psalm 24 to affirm divine ownership of the earth and its foundations. This sacred hymn, set for SSAT voices in English, draws on biblical themes of creation and providence. The composer Gabrael StClair crafts a piece that reflects on the relationship between the natural world and its creator, offering a contemplative musical setting for the choir and congregation alike.
