This noble anthem is based on the "St. Anthony Chorale" tune, generally attributed to Franz Joseph Haydn. The unison vocal part may be voiced in a variety of ways using children's choir, adult choir, or combined children's and adult choirs. The well-crafted accompaniment enhances an easy-to-learn melody by providing both support and interest to the vocal line. Based on selected verses from Psalm 98 and Psalm 150, the text reminds us to "sing and praise the Lord forever.".
