This little-known tune provides great material for a hymn anthem. It's a sending forth text, scored with the men always echoing the text of the women at one measure. First, in canon, then in counterpoint. Mixed meters are introduced in the third and fourth stanzas, and the final stanza expands the score to SAT over echoing bass. Lots of excitement here. This edition may be performed as a suite of three: Lord, Enthron'd in Heav'nly Spendor, Look unto Abraham, and Know That the Lord Is God. The trumpet in C part is interlined in the score.

Beautiful in its simplicity and easy to learn, this piece is a wonderful choice as a benediction or song of sending forth. The melody is first shared as a unison line which the congregation can sing all the way through. The choral parts grow to two-parts with the second stanza, and finally blossom into four parts for the final blessing.
