Driving syncopation and resounding joy characterize this magnificent "going out" anthem by Lloyd Larson. A contrasting B section is based upon Peter Lutkin's beloved benediction, "The Lord Bless You and Keep You," and is marked by a quiet intensity. After a modulation, the A section returns to send God's family out into the world wrapped in His embrace and carried forth in song.
