What a Mighty God We Serve - The title contemporary chorus is combined with the age-old hymn favorite, "Hymn to Joy" in this setting of 42 measures. The meter is a lively 4/2, making the quick rhythms easier to read. In fact, the piece focuses on the sound of rung bells with no special techniques called for. A step-up piece for choirs used to ringing level 2 alone.
