for SSATB and organ
Written in 1852 in the wake of S.S.Wesley's groundbreaking Service in E this is an equally ambitious work with an important obbligato organ part. With only one change of tempo, it has an unflagging forward momentum. An ideal work for those occasions when a large-scale, expansive setting is wanted.

Henry Smart was born in London, and was the nephew of Sir George Smart, the eminent conductor and Organist of the Chapel Royal. He studied law before turning to a career in music. From 1831-36 he was Organist of Blackburn Parish Church, but returned to London to take up the post of Organist at St Giles-without-Cripplegate. Later he moved to St Luke's, Old Street, and finally in 1864, to St Pancras New Church. For the last fifteen years of his life he was totally blind and dictated his compositions to his daughter. Several of his hymn tunes enjoy popularity today and appear in a number of modern hymn books.
