Analysis of Fill the cathedral with awe and wonder

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Hit those keys and make the organ thunder.
Fill the cathedral with awe and wonder
and let your music proclaim the story
of our mighty God and His great glory.

As your gospel shoes press down each pedal
may they enhance your heartfelt recital
and to the Lord our God your anthem raise
pouring out your soul in glorious praise
