Interpretation notes:

• Some syncopations in the first half of the hymn make it harder to sing, including the words ‘redemption,’ ‘foundation,’ and ‘Savior.’ 

• The hymn also includes triplets and fast sixteenth notes on the word ‘Jesus’ for the tenor and bass voices near the end of the song.

• One can sing with a more reflective mood and thanksgiving.
