Gloria In Excelsis Deo

Hymnary Friends,

As our fall/winter fund drive winds down, please consider a gift today to support the work of Hymnary.org. We're behind where we have been in past years with this drive, and we are hoping to catch up a little between now and January 1, 2019!

Please know that we want to keep Hymnary (the most complete database of North American hymnody on the planet) going for many years to come. Your donations help us do that. Even small amounts help, and they also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.

Click the Donate button below to be taken to a secure giving site. Or you can make your tax-deductible contribution by sending a check to Hymnary.org at 3201 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.

On behalf of the entire Hymnary.org team, our thanks.
Harry Plantinga

Scored for Piano

This festive Mark Hayes creation is the perfect concert opener or closer. It also works well in the midst of any worship or concert setting in which a joyous Christmas anthem is desired. The pulsating 6/8 meter, which begins and concludes the piece, provides impetus to the energetic and rhythmic vocal lines. The occasional meter changes as well as the contrasting and lyric middle section make this a fresh and powerful Christmas proclamation!
