How Great Thou Art / Majesty

Choirs looking for a powerful, sweeping anthem will find a lot to love in this choral setting by Joel Raney. It brings together two of the most beloved songs of praise—Stuart K. Hine’s "How Great Thou Art" and Jack Hayford’s "Majesty"—into one seamless, uplifting arrangement. Instead of just placing the two songs back-to-back, the arrangement weaves them together, letting the familiar verses of awe and wonder build naturally into a grand declaration of Christ’s glory.

In the choir loft, this piece shines during special concerts, feast days, or moments of grand thanksgiving. The vocal parts are dynamic, passing the melody between the men and women before swelling into rich, full harmonies. When the choir reaches the final verse, anticipating Christ’s return with a "shout of acclamation," the interwoven lyrics of "Majesty" return for a soaring, triumphant finish. It is a wonderful choice for a choir ready to lead the congregation in a profound moment of worship.
