"O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe"

About a year ago, I transcribed the text of "O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe" and found a couple small things to write about.  The hymn is sung to the tune "Kommt her zu mir."  Here's the last musical phrase:

The second verse ends with the lines "His Gideon shall for you arise, / Uphold you and His Word."  "Uphold" is sung to a fairly large ascending interval (a fifth:  E to B), giving something of a sense of the word's meaning.

The fourth verse ends with the lines "So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise / A mighty chorus to Thy praise / Forevermore.  Amen."  The value of the notes to which "forever" is sung (E B A G) add up to six beats.  This is the most for any word in the hymn and gives a sense of duration.
