Thanks Be To God

By Joseph M. Martin, arranged by Heather Sorenson

This refreshing song brings the whole church together for worship and thanksgiving. The recognizable folk tune, most notably used in “All Through the Night,” immediately endears the piece to the listener and facilitates learning. A call-and-response format joined to thoughtful part writing lends friendliness to the song and creates flexibility for worship planning. The final verse, with its soaring descant, yields to a sensitive “amen” for use as a benediction or prayer response.
