Written for the Praise Symphony of Southern California, this American folk hymn is set in a variety of styles. As the piece begins, there is an ostinato in the low brass, viola and cellos, which continues under the violin section playing a strong unison line. The piece modulates and changes from 3/4 to 4/4 time, with a bold statement of the theme in the trumpets and horns over an interesting pattern of eighth notes, tremolos, and harmonic changes in the balance of the orchestra.
