Handbells shine in this chorally attainable setting. After a stately opening, verses 1 and 2 are sung by unison men and women, respectively. The handbells re-enter on the interlude to stanza 3, which is sung by SATB choir and optional congregation over a triplet figure in the keyboard with handbells tacet. The handbells return for the final interlude and last verse, with a soprano descant soaring over unison to a forte choral Amen.
