On Zion's Glorious Summit

Hymnal is Praise for the Lord

This is one of my favorite older songs. Very melodic and lovely. Since the Sanctus is to be sung after all the stanzas, I placed all the stanzas up, also. Unfortunately, on FInale Notepad, I can't adjust the tempo mid-song. I would have preferred to slow down the Sanctus a little bit, but it's not too far off.

Also, this is an experiment on volume for this new format. You'll notice them above the soprano line. In Finale, you have to apply them to all the parts in order for it to work, but it looks rather busy. What I have shown is modified. Also, the volume marks are not in the hymnal, with the exception of the p (soft) when a line in the stanza repeats. I added the others to show you how I try to lead it because I think it's pretty, though I'm not sure how much survived the process, hence the experimentation. What do you think?
