Recurring bell-like motifs are used in the organ accompaniment to give the music a dignified "hymn-anthem" feel which is reinforced by a final majestic verse for unison plus soprano descant. Quite a bit of the piece is in unison C major, with a brief foray into A-flat major and four-part writing. Even smaller choirs will find this accessible yet powerful. The text speaks of Christ's presence bringing us joy, truth, justice, and unceasing love.
