I will be glad and rejoice in Thee;

About I will give thanks
This stirring anthem is ideal for services of thanksgiving. Joseph Barnby sets a jubilant English text, celebrating God's marvellous works and infinite wisdom. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic colour, building to powerful declarations of praise. The music effectively conveys the text's themes of gratitude, reliance, and the ultimate glory due to the Trinity. It offers a grand and uplifting musical setting, perfect for a choir to express profound devotion and awe.
