Although the words come from the 19th century there is no question the music is of today. The opening tonal clusters from the choir accompanied by a rolling line and steady harmony in the piano create a mood of mystery. Praise rings forth exuberantly in salute of God's command of life and death however the music stays well-grounded in reality and the newness is engaging. An excellent church anthem general song of praise All Saints day or concert. Medium difficulty.
