More about this title
About the Artist: Chris Tomlin
Chris Tomlin has shaped contemporary Christian music for two decades, writing songs that balance theological depth with memorable melodies. His work consistently finds its way into church worship settings across denominations, making him one of the most performed songwriters in modern hymnody.
Why we love this
Heather Sorenson's arrangement honors the hymn's classical roots while embracing the contemporary recording by Tomlin and Jobe, creating a piece that speaks across generations. The flexibility of two endings lets you shape the moment: keep it choir-centered for concert impact, or open it up to congregational participation for a powerful worship experience.
What to expect
Majestic yet approachable, this arrangement wraps a beloved hymn in contemporary warmth. The orchestration feels both celebratory and intimate, inviting singers and listeners to encounter the theological weight of crowning Christ with reverence and joy.
Who it's for
Directors seeking music that bridges traditional hymn singing with contemporary worship styles will find this essential. It works for Easter services, general worship programs, or concert settings where you want to honor hymnic tradition alongside modern artistry.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the hymn melody against modern harmonic language. The arrangement layers both old and new, so ensure the familiar tune remains audible even as the instrumental parts thicken.
- Use the two ending options strategically. The choir-only conclusion lands differently than the congregational version; choose based on your liturgical moment and whether you want to close a service or invite the assembly into the final affirmation.
- Articulation matters in the instrumental writing. Crisp tonguing in the woodwinds and brass will distinguish the contemporary textures from the hymn's traditional foundation.
- Let the rhythm section lock in early. This arrangement benefits from a solid groove; give percussionists and the rhythm team time to nail their parts before pulling everything together.
How to use it
Consider this for Easter sunrise services, Holy Week programs, or any spring concert where you want to pair congregational connection with polished musicianship. The arrangement's accessibility makes it work early in the season as rehearsals build, yet its sophistication keeps it interesting for singers drilling it for weeks.
