Edition notes: Voicing SAATB. Note values halved. These scores are based on CPDL #08483:  and are transposed up a fourth or fifth in effort to make a complementary edition for CPDL #03434:  for verses 1.3-1.5, and in the process of doing this the rehersal transcription suffered greatly - this will be cleaned up soon in a future upload of a revised edition.
