[Intro – Instrumental Only] [Instrumentation: 1st violins + harp arpeggios, soft choir pad, low‑brass pedal tone (D). Gradually build a shimmering D‑add9 – A – Bm – G progression, ending on a suspended A7 that resolves into Verse 1.][Vocal texture: One lead voice (or small quartet) sings a cappella for the first two lines, then a warm piano joins at bar 5. The melody should rise on “glory” and fall gently on “veil,” hinting at the coming chorus.] [Verse 1 – Solo with Deep Devotion, ] The Spirit of God, a holy flame that's burning, A burns brighter than the sunrise’s claim. The Latter‑day glory begins to lifts its veil, and dawns anew, the saints set sail. [Refrain – Full Choir Enters] We’ll sing, we’ll shout with all the heavenly host, “Hosanna, Hosanna,” To God almighty and his lamb! Let the highest glory and praise be utter to our Almighty God our Father from above and To his Majesty our Lord and Savior forevermore—Amen, Amen, Amen! [Verse 2 – Expanding the Vision] The Lord extends the saints’ his boundless mercy restores the balance of Justice and Truth on earth once more! His boundless knowledge, power unrolled, the veil on the earth is beginning to burst! [Verse 3 – The Prophetic Promise] [Arrangement: Here the full choir sings the first two lines in unison, then splits into SSAAB for a rich harmonic “peace entwined.” A soft celesta twinkles on “child shall smile.”] How blessed the day when Lamb and Lion lie down together, peace entwined. A child shall smile, the world be shining, Zion’s heart, by love designed. [Bridge – Orchestral Interlude] [Time signature: 3/4 for a flowing, celestial waltz feel. Instrumentation: Strings (pizzicato → legato), harp glissandi, French horns, and a solo English horn carrying a soaring motif derived from the refrain’s “Hosanna” theme. Chord progression: D – F♯m – G – A (repeat, then modulate briefly to Bm before resolving back to D). Purpose: Musically illustrate “the veil o’er the earth is beginning to burst.”] We gather in solemn assembly, the spirit burns deeply in our bosom to spread the Kingdom's glad tidings of redemption Piercing through the thick veil of darkness and unbelief Through steadfast faith we claim our part, the visions of old are unfolding, blessings, Glory to God and his Lamb, forevermore. [Instrumental Interlude – Echo of the Intro] Same chord pattern as the intro, but now layered with solo violin and trumpet fanfare echoing the “Hosanna” motif.*] [Refrain – Full Choir Enters] We’ll sing, we’ll shout with all the heavenly host, “Hosanna, Hosanna,” To God almighty and his lamb! Let the highest glory and praise be utter to our Almighty God our Father from above and To his Majesty our Lord and Savior forevermore—Amen, Amen, Amen! [Outro – Orchestral] Instrumentation: Low strings and timpani roll on a D pedal point, with a soft choir hum (“ahhh”) that gradually dissolves. Final chord: **D ] [end]
