S Soprano volume adjust. Soprano sings the highest, most important notes (the melody). Their notes are seen above the lyrics.

Lyrics

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
such a way as gives me breath;
such a truth as ends all strife;
such a life as killeth death.

Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:
such a light as shows a feast;
such a feast as mends in length;
such a strength as makes his guest.

Come my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
such a joy as none can move;
such a love as none can part;
such a heart as joys in love.
