A grand and majestic expression of praise! Ovid Young's arrangement of this familiar tune is stately and triumphant with trumpet and flute sounding the fanfare as heaven's gates are opened. The text speaks of the indescribable beauty of God's kingdom and that this place, “filled with solace, light, and grace” may be found here on earth. “Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty” would make an exciting festival or dedication anthem, as it showcases the talents of both singers and instrumentalists. If you use organ accompaniment, pull out ALL the stops!
