A new 8-measure introduction launches this piece in the style of a fanfare. The music first presents this hymn in F major and then modulates to the usual G-Major key in the final verse. A new descant helps build this piece to its joyous conclusion. This arrangement for brass quintet is a great way to present this piece in a Christian worship service setting. If desired, the worhipers can sing along with the instruments (without organ or piano) if the church has the original hymn setting, or melody available, and with a director or song-leader.
