Hopson's concertato will make a stunning climax to the worship service anytime this powerful hymn is used. After a brilliant instrumental fanfare, choir and congregation join in unison on the first verse. The second verse is for SAB voices and congregation. A brief reprise of the opening fanfare then leads into the final verse, where all forces join together to close this majestic work.
