The work is based on the children's hymn This is My Father's World. It opens with a noble introduction leading to a tender exposition of the hymn. The work develops through a series of melodic variations, always superimposed on the original hymn. The powerful climax combines a variational alleluia plus the previous variations and hymn. The work concludes with a touching coda and fades to a gentle silence.
