"Voices Raised to You We Offer"

A couple years ago, I noticed a small feature in "Voices Raised to You We Offer."  The fourth line of the third verse is "For Your rising, hear our praise!" sung to this phrase from the tune "Song of Praise":


"Your rising" is sung to an ascending group of notes (G# A C#), musically giving a sense of its meaning.
