The 2nd stanza's beautiful part-writing offers an enjoyable challenge for the choir, especially if performed a cappella. The third stanza features the congregation with Sopranos and Tenors on an optional descant, as well as optional Handbells or Handchimes. The piece concludes with a simple yet effective choral ending.
