About High in heaven the sun shines his worship to Thee
The sun and the bird offer their praise to God in this hymn setting by Joseph Barnby. The text expands on this imagery, moving from the heavens to the earth, and finally to humanity's own voice joining in adoration. Barnby's SATB arrangement captures the devotional spirit of the words, creating a flowing and uplifting musical expression of this English sacred text. It is a simple yet powerful hymn, suitable for general use where a congregational or choral offering of praise is desired.
