| The tune was first published in 1835 in a hymnal titled Southern Harmony with a metrical version of Psalm 23 ("My Shepherd Will Supply My Need"). The flowing accompaniment gives a pastoral atmosphere to the tune, given out as a tenor line solo in the pedal. | |

| The tune "Forest Green" is an English folk song, sometimes used as an alternative tune for the text "O Little Town of Bethlehem." The Partita begins with a freely harmonized version of the tune, followed by four variations. Variation I is a sprightly duet with a lightly decorated version of the tune in the right hand. Variation II is a cantilena with the tune (again lightly decorated) on a solo combination, accompanied by two lines for the left hand; all of this is set over a detached bass line. Variation III gives the tune as a two-part canon on a high pitched stop in the pedal. Ever changing coloristic harmonies with fragments of the tune worked in form the accompaniment on the manual. Variation IV employs bold registrations in a three-part canon with two free voices moving around the canonic voices. The third voice of the canon is by augmentation in the pedal (i.e., in doubled note values). | |

| This tune with a text that begins "May the God of hope go with us every day" is found in The Presbyterian Hymnal (1990). The piece begins as a lively duet, then becomes a trio, and near the end, a fourth part is added. A dance-like character pervades the piece. | |
