I’m in Gather 3rd ed. blogging music for specific feasts and celebrations that I haven’t already covered in the years of blogging hymns. I’m up to Trinity Sunday and this song whose c19 text by John Marriott was adapted by Paul Melley who wrote the music.
It is a joyous song that has a harmony line from the second chorus and through the third verse. Paul Melley’s clip below will give you the idea of how the harmony line works. It veers into call and response there so if you aren’t using the second melody line I would sing the whole song to the arrangement in the first two verses. In that form I think it worth learning if you need something uplifting for Trinity Sunday.
The verses have staccato sections that will trip the unwary, but if nailed should increase the excitement quotient.
GIA will sell you the sheet music and the text is in the preview there.
My backing does only the main melody line, which leaves odd gaps in the third verse for the reasons noted above.
