for SATB and organ
This is a flexible hymn for general worship, with an original hymn tune ('Charleston') by Howard Helvey. Either Francis Scott Key's 'Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee' or Charles Wesley's 'Love divine, all loves excelling' may be sung, and Helvey employs hymnody's most popular traits, including a majestic organ introduction, an emphatic unison first verse, and a soaring soprano descant.
Howard Helvey . . . has written a hymn tune, . . . the most striking aspect of which is a change to the flattened submediant (complete with change of key signature) halfway through. Unison first verse followed by SATB followed by unison plus descant follow a conventional pattern. It is a written in a grand manner that would be effective with large forces.
