A multi-usage text will make this anthem a valuable addition to your choral library. A grand fanfare-like gesture in the accompaniment calls the song to purpose and establishes a festive spirit. The brief contrasting middle section brings a moment of hope for peace on earth. Though useful for Christmas programs, the alternate text allows this confident acclamation of praise to be used any time of the year.
