Saturday morning music: Praise my Soul the King of Heaven






On Saturdays, the suggested canticle for morning prayer is always the Song of Creation, which begins

Glorify the Lord, all you works of the Lord, Praise him and highly exalt him forever.


And every section repeats, Praise him and highly exalt him forever.


This is a song of praise if I ever heard one.  The Westminster Abbey Choir sings "Praise my Soul the King of Heaven."  Listen out for the soaring descant on the last verse.

Thanks for that Penny. I've always thought it a rather run-of-the-mill sort of hymn, but I must say I see what you mean about the descant.
Particularly effective against the images shown.
Really lovely pictures.
