Description

Flowing arrangement of a Maori melody.  The melody of Search Me (Now Is the Hour) began as “Swiss Cradle Song” in Australia, 1913. It became the farewell song for Māori soldiers departing for World War I, and was later popularized by Bing Crosby and Gracie Fields. The biblical lyrics, added later, are based on Psalm 139:23-24.
