Hymn tune This setting of the hymn tune LOBE DEN HERREN captures the exuberant adoration expressed by the text of this popular hymn. It should be played with great energy and excitement to bring forth the praise contained in each stanza.

This segment ends with a return of the opening theme (in a different key), played in one clef, answered in the other, building to a big finish.
