BP1442, SATB, $2.50
Date released: 1995
Based on the well-known verse from Psalm 118:24, this sacred anthem begins with unison melody in a cappella form and then is joined by the keyboard and optional brass accompaniment. The melody is joyful, quite active, and yet very singable. Set in an ABA form, there is a contrasting lyrical section focusing on the transcendent love of God. Perfect for an introit or general worship focusing on praise.
