Uses: Patriotic Scripture: II Chronicles 7:14; Psalm 33:12 This beloved patriotic anthem is presented with a dignified reverence. After an opening flourish, the verse unfolds simply, and then increases color in the harmonies. The next verse features some special vocal effects imitating a plucked guitar. A triumphant, bold spirit characterizes the finale, and a return of the opening gesture is just the right exclamation point.
