Thou Who Wast Rich
arr. Molly Ijames.
This beloved Christmas carol was written by Frank Houghton in 1934 and
based on the passage in II Corinthians 8: "that though he was rich, yet for
your sake he became poor." Molly Ijames takes great care with this choral
setting, shaping each phrase with tender nuance and carefully resolving
each cadence. The result is a compelling, thoughtful moment of worship
that allows the believer to contemplate again the great mystery of Christ's
coming to earth as a tiny child.
