"On What Has Now Been Sown"
One of the hymns in an online church service I watched a few weeks ago was "On What Has Now Been Sown," sung to the tune "Darwall's 148th." I noticed a small feature near the end of the first verse. The penultimate line is "Do Thou in grace the harvest raise," sung to this phrase:
"The harvest raise" is sung to an ascending group of notes (C to F), so there's a musical sense of that "rais[ing]."
