This is a general anthem that may also serve Lent, Trinity Sunday and memorial observances. A suggested corresponding lectionary reading is Psalm 90. One basic homiletical theme is God as Sovereign and Protector of Humankind. In the final verse, the descant may require only a few sopranos, allowing the remainder to join the altos and baritones in leading congregational singing. The addition of a solo trumpet will provide an especially thrilling performance of this popular hymn. Jubilate Music Group
