Praise To The Lord

"Praise to the Lord" is one of those majestic hymns that instantly lifts the spirit of a congregation the moment the choir begins to sing. While the opening verse carries the familiar, soaring call to worship the King of Creation, this particular arrangement offers something special for the Catholic Mass.

The second verse shifts the focus directly to the Eucharistic sacrifice, calling us to offer ourselves at the altar alongside Christ the High Priest. It transforms a general song of praise into a deeply fitting Offertory or Entrance hymn, grounding the grand adoration of the first verse in the physical reality of the liturgy.

Singing this piece feels like a true gathering call. The steady, confident progression of the harmonies gives the choir a solid foundation, allowing the voices to swell on the final lines of each stanza. It is a wonderful choice for feast days or Sunday worship, inviting everyone in the pews to bring their own lives and join in the feast.
