This text in the Sacred Harp tradition was first published in 1891, and is filled with enthusiasm for singing and the joy of faith. The musical setting is new, but hearkens back to early American shape-note singing. The harmonies are straightforward, and the rhythmic piano accompaniment serves to maintain the energy of the message.
Voicing & Instruments: SATB and Piano
Composer/Arranger: Walker, Gwyneth
