EXALT HIM, ALL YE PEOPLE

"Exalt Him, All Ye People" is a bright, rousing anthem of praise that calls all of creation to lift up a song to the Creator. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of nature joining in worship—from the murmuring brooks and silver lays of birds to the crystal drops in the blue arch of the sky. It reminds us in the choir loft that our voices are part of a much larger, universal chorus of gladness, echoing the radiant stars that act as messengers of God's love.

With its energetic opening and majestic "Chorale style" section, this piece is a wonderful choice for festive Entrance processions or as a triumphant Recessional on a feast day. The music builds beautifully toward the end, layering joyful, overlapping repetitions as the choir sings "bless His holy name." It is the kind of anthem that truly energizes a congregation, sending them out through the church doors with a renewed sense of God's endless kingdom.
