All Saints Be Thou Exalted O Lord

"All Saints Be Thou Exalted O Lord" is a majestic, joyful song of praise by Joe Mike. Opening with a bright "Alleluia Hosanna," the piece immediately sets a tone of triumph and reverence. It paints a picture of the heavenly chorus, reminding us that as we sing, we join the saints in their eternal song of "Honour and Glory."

In the choir loft, this piece shines brightest on major feast days, particularly the Solemnity of All Saints or Christ the King. Its driving solfa lines and overlapping alleluias build a wonderful momentum that carries the congregation upward. As a grand entrance hymn to gather the people for Mass, or a joyful recessional to send them forth, it leaves a lingering sense of awe for the "eternal Immortal God."
