Description
Tune: Darwall's 148th
Meter: 6.6. 6.6. 8.8.
This contemporary hymn arrangement is excellent for the Sunday of the Fulfillment (also known as Christ the King Sunday or the Last Sunday of the Church Year) or any other worship service in which the reign of God in Christ is being emphasized. You may also use this familiar hymn tune arrangement when singing "On What Has Now Been Sown," "Christ Is Our Cornerstone," and "Before You, Lord, We Bow" (a hymn text written by the author of the Star-Spangled Banner, Francis Scott Key). In addition to the vocal-piano-guitar score, an alto saxophone part is included.
