Bravado accompaniment enhances the straightforward choral nature of this beloved hymn. The first two verses are set in stately fashion with the two following verses SA/optional congregation and TB/congregation respectively, set over a flowing, legato accompaniment. The interlude leading into the final stanza sets up a modulation and returns to the broadened statement of a new text featured in this hymnal: "To God all glory, praise and love." An optional three-part descant is set above the unison melody, and a grand choral coda with rich harmonizations concludes the setting.
