Interpretation notes:
The hymn is in 3/4 time, and the downbeats help highlight important words such as 'heaven,' 'earth,' 'praise,' and 'glory.'
Near the end, the usual downbeat pattern changes in the phrase 'Who givest all?' where the interval jump and dotted quarter-note rhythm place emphasis on 'giv-est.'
The musical setting draws attention to the giving described in the text.
