True Light—Keith Hampton. Opening
phrases of the traditional spiritual This
Little Light of Mine launch this exciting
work into Keith Hampton's original words
and music, which feature a sixteen-

Book of Mournful Chants: "Don't let the
light that You've given me die, And don't
desert my mind. But let the one who
serves You Praise You again and again."
The repeated responses "He lives in us as
True Light" and "God gave the world True
Light" give solid impact to every phrase.
