Paul Busselberg’s arrangement of “Press Forward, Saints” brings fresh energy and a rich choral sound to this beloved hymn. With music by Vanja Y. Watkins and text by Marvin K. Gardner, the setting combines rich harmonies, expressive vocal writing, and a strong sense of forward movement. Inspired by the themes of faith, hope, and steadfastness found in 2 Nephi 31:20, the music builds naturally in intensity, leading to a soaring soprano descant and a grand final “Hallelujah!”

With its energetic opening and full, expressive sound, this arrangement makes a strong choice for opening or closing a concert, worship service, conference, or other program. The piece can begin with the powerful combination of organ and full choir, or the choir can make an equally striking a cappella entrance before the organ joins in (alternate entrance instructions are included in the sheet music). The organ then provides a strong foundation throughout, making this a rewarding choice for experienced choirs and organists.
