Note SATB chorus, keyboard for rehearsal only.
The text is a freely rendered version of Psalm 148:1-5; 7-13 with a paraphrase of verse 7 by Wentworth Dillon, Fourth Earl of Roscommon, and several lines presumably composed by Billings himself.
The anthem is characteristic of the eighteenth-century singing-school style using double octaves.
