The Organ prelude which appears here, is catalogued by the composer as a prelude to his choral piece "Kyrie" (see: 033-167 & also 033-049). It is built upon the melody of the Icelandic folk song (later hymn) "Grátandi kem ég nú Guð mín til þín"
A harmonisation of the Icelandic hymn/folk song, long held in the Icelandi Music Information Centre's database is thought to be by Leifs, although this is by no means certain.
This version, pairing the prelude with the hymn is presented here as a possible complete work by Leifs.
