Head of the Church by Jeremiah Ingalls — Lyrics
1. Head of thy church triumphant,
We joyfully adore thee;
Till thou appear,
Thy members here
Shall sing like those in glory.

About Head of the Church
Jeremiah Ingalls's STB setting of Head of the Church triumphant offers a stirring devotional experience. The text expresses ardent adoration of Christ, the triumphant head of the Church, and anticipates the glorious reunion with Him in heaven. It speaks of lifting hearts and voices in praise and salvation, connecting the earthly congregation with the celestial choir.
This sacred piece, written for treble, solo, and bass voices, allows for a rich and resonant rendition of these profound spiritual sentiments. Ingalls's composition, likely intended for congregational singing or a small choir, provides a direct and accessible musical setting for these inspiring words of faith and hope.
