HB (3–4) This concertato begins mysteriously as the choir sings a setting of the plainsong upon which the hymn is based. After a brief interlude, the congregation sings the hymn, which culminates in a grand crescendo at the text "Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth." The setting closes with singing a coda based on the same plainsong as at the beginning.
