Cosmic Hymn of Praise

This is a song based on Psalm 148 by Michael Mangan, from his collection Setting Hearts on Fire. He suggests it for any liturgy with a creation theme.

It is call response between cantor and assembly but Mangan says it could be sung in unison. He also uses three key changes to add excitement.

You can hear a snippet and by the sheet music at Litmus.

My backing has the call and response and key changes.
