O Praise the Gracious Power

Lloyd Larson put on his most distinguished and regal robes when he composed this piece. Using a text by the revered theologian, Thomas Troeger, and poet John Oxenham, Larson presents a magnificent theme. The St. Peter hymn tune (In Christ There Is No East Or West)with congregation crowns the anthem beautifully. Scored with optional brass and percussion, this commission praises God and honors our unity in Christ.
