"Cowper" (TLH #157b)


There are two tunes for TLH #157.  I neglected to realize this last week; otherwise, that tune would have been labelled 157a.

This is in 3/2, which thoroughly confused me.  This tune also appears in Lutheran Worship but without any time signature, which makes it look like it's in 6/4.  Had I played it that way, this probably would have turned out better.
