About the piece
A hymn of wonder at the love of God that sets people free, with an energetic, flowing melody. This edition carries the melody with its text, in 36 measures in 4/4.
How to prepare it
The melody is wide for an assembly: B3–E5 (an eleventh), with phrases that rise and fall quickly. Rehearse it in sections: learn the phrases first, then the repetition at the end of each verse, which is the hardest part to memorize. Keep the pulse steady and the diction clean; it is sung with joy, not with haste.
When to use it
It works very well in Eastertide and Ordinary Time, as an entrance hymn or as thanksgiving after communion.
