This heroic arrangement of a time-honored hymn starts with a dramatic, fanfare style call-to-worship with 6-part divisi, building to a thrilling crescendo. The main body of the hymn is in 12/8 meter, with a pulsating, rolling accompaniment that calls for good lyrical singing and attention to phrasing. Interpolated into the arrangement is a quote from OLD HUNDREDTH that underscores the general praise lyric and builds to an exciting climax before the final stanza. The arrangement is 6.5 minutes long and is suitable for festival occasions and general worship settings. Partwriting is moderately difficult in some places, but there is ample unison and 2-part writing. Commissioned by Dallas Baptist University Chorale, this anthem is also suitable for good adult church choirs.
