This sturdy and stalwart hymn of the church is full of resolve and color and is perfect for times in services dedicated to themes of stewardship or honoring the works of others. A blend of optional handchimes with the handbells in the thoughtful middle section creates a stunning and inspiring moment of pause before the return of the robust hymn tune. Shakes, echoes, martellato and LV are some of the techniques that are woven into the piece to create a grand setting for worship or festival use.
