An outburst of praise in a rollicking 6/8 opens and closes the piece. This upbeat approach is grounded in two great Biblical affirmations: the sweeter middle section quotes John 15:15, “I call you friends” and the recap proclaims, “Well done, faithful servant!” (Matthew 25:21) The choral writing is clear and approachable, the accompaniment energetic. Useful for any type of worship service.
