Behold, the Sacrifice of Love

Luke Mayernik

Expansive and meditative, this gorgeous Eucharistic hymn reinforces the True Presence of Christ in both species: Body and Blood. Though it does not have a refrain in the formal sense, a mantra-like repetition of the word “behold” introduces, then frames, the four verses, which themselves touch on topics of God’s love for us, sacrifice, and unity. The organ accompaniment neatly complements the longer note values of the SATB choir with cascading triplets and rich added-note harmonies. A descant for Verse 4 and a solo instrument part can be employed to further enrich the texture.
