The Song of the Church

For Faith, We Praise You, Lord

Written in celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Concordia Publishing House, Kevin Hildebrand’s tune and setting uses a text by Stephen P. Starke to create an effective concertato for SATB, congregation, organ, and trumpet. The text features themes of faith through Scripture; the Word in, with, and under the Sacraments; and the proclamation of the Gospel to all the world.
