This lesser-known, yet solid, text may be from times passed, but the tune is fresh and jaunty. A soloist or unison voices take the first stanza along with piano accompaniment, the second stanza adds the choir singing oo to support the soloist. For the third stanza, the choir divides into two parts, then all join together for the final stanza. A coda builds from unison to SAB, ending in a final outcry from the choir, “To God all praise and glory!”.
