Arranged for 3 - 5 octave handbell choir, optional 3 - 4 octaves of handchimes and optional cello. Level 3-. Karen Buckwalter's beautiful arrangement of the beloved Robert Lowry tune is a grand tour through Christian hymnody. Numerous hymntunes are quoted throughout, usually between verses of the main tune, but occasionally as counterpoint and countermelody. The addition of the optional cello adds a glorious bass sound, but in its absence, the cello part is notated in the score for handchimes. A true musical delight from start to finish!
