This short, joyful Introit (or Call to Worship) is a setting of familiar phrases from the Book of Psalms. The work is built from five motives. Motives 1 and 5 are presented (and repeated) individually; the other motes appear in various combinations. In the work's final four measures Motives 1 and 2 (in their original and inverted versions) are combined in counterpoint against Motive 2 to bring the work builds to a climax.
