The commission for this piece written in memory of a beloved ringer included instructions to highlight bass chimes and to feature C4/D4, a favorite position.

The title is drawn from John 3:8 and Ecclesiastes 11:5, which remind us that while we do not understand God's ways, we can take solace in knowing God will provide and can ultimately find peace. The hymn It Is Well with My Soul is incorporated, offering a message of enduring faith and hope. 8:24 11643691 3-7 Octave Handbells w/ opt. 3-7 Oct. HC . . . . . . . .
