Joseph M. Martin: Bring Joy!: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

Uses: General, Thanksgiving, Unity Scripture: Psalm 98:1; Psalm 122:1; Psalm 133:1 Opening with a vocal flourish, this rhythmic call to worship announces with confidence a message of thanksgiving and praise. An expressive middle section presents a contrasting thought with the words, Behold, how good it is when we lift our hearts in unity. A brief transition gradually builds the energy until the opening power returns and the anthem is crowned with a driving punctuated ending.
