This tune is often mistaken for an old hymn. The music and also the words sound as if it is old and traditional. It was written in 1995 by Stuart Townend and it has become very popular in churches. Just search YouTube to find many recordings of this excellent hymn. If you are a believer you will also appreciate the words.
I recorded this last night after Markosz reminded me of it. I have known it for years and did a short clip of it on one of my instruction videos. (I mistakenly thought it was minor, it is not, and I have now deleted that section from that video on minor tunes. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Markosz!) Markosz was interested in this hymn and he likes the Jianpu notation, so I have attempted to make Jianpu for it.

Single notes only. Chords are not notated. Actually, this tune likes just one harmony note in many places instead of a full chord. There are places where minor chords are used in original. Substituting major chords doesn't work, but the partial chords seem to fit.
This is also my farewell video. I have decided that my channel on tremolo harmonica music now has more than enough videos. Over 200. I will still participate in our songs of the month and post those to Soundcloud (and later delete them to keep under the data limit there). I still hope to play live locally. The YouTube channel will remain, but I will not do anything more with it.
OK, too long of a post already! Here is the music:
