Program Notes:

First published anonymously in 1832, “He Walks With God” was eventually credited to Dorothy Ann Thrupp (1779-1847) and appears in The Song Book of The Salvation Army to this day. It serves as a reminder to constantly focus on God’s presence in our lives, as expressed in the first verse:

 

He walks with God who speaks to God in prayer,

And daily brings to him his daily care;

Possessing inward peace, he truly knows

A heart’s refreshment and a soul’s repose.

 

The tune, “Ellers,” is frequently associated with this text. It was composed by John Edward Hopkins (1818-1901), a prominent English organist and one of the founders of the Royal College of Organists.
