This American folk hymn captures the optimism and strength of the early pioneers through musical textures and sounds of the old west. This is a joy to perform especially as the rhythm becomes syncopated and elongated reflecting the spirit of folk-dance. An orchestral accompaniment is available on hire.

This luscious arrangement opens with a wind and brass introduction. A flowing gently rocking string background sets off the vocal line in the altos while the rest of the chorus sings 'oohs'. This makes the full chorus passage that comes afterwards particularly powerful.

A wonderful closing hymn for a Christmas service or concert with a grand finish. Orchestral material is available on hire.
