Shout Praise, Shout Praise, O Israel

According to Sister Glen, _x001C_ singing the psalms should sometimes be a lot of fun,_x001D_ and has crafted a text inspired by Psalm 100 but centered on the joy of Christ_x0019_ s presence in our midst. Wedgewood_x0019_ s musical response is an energetic, spirited assembly song scored for SAB choir, descant, keyboard, guitar, and a raft of percussion instruments (congas, cabasa, claves, tambourine, and even cowbell). This piece is ideal as an entrance song and, with five verses, would be especially effective for liturgies with lengthy processionals.
