lutheranhymnsWhat's the musical format?
It's a two-part round! And not like "we're chanting the same thing over and over again," it's two parts that blend into each other pretty well.
It's minor but kind of peppy--I don't think it quite qualifies as "praise genre," but it definitely could be, it's the kind of thing that would fit in well with church camp music and is a cut above most of it? I don't know, I feel like I'm not really summing up why it's good, but not only are the lyrics nice, the music is something that's different from a lot of stuff but doesn't sound too forced-"contemporary" (I guess the lyrics play into that as well). And it's originally Swedish!
I was at the churchwide assembly a decade ago (long story) and I'm pretty sure they sung it there as well. So even the establishment has good taste. ;)
