"Through Jesus' Blood and Merit"

About a year ago, I wrote a post about some features in "Through Jesus' Blood and Merit," but when it was the hymn in a Concordia University Wisconsin chapel service I watched recently, I found an-other small point to note.

The third line in the third verse, continuing the list of things that cannot separate us from the love of God, is "Nor angels of high station," sung to this phrase from the tune "Lob Gott getrost mit Singen":

"High" is sung to the highest pitch in the phrase (an A), so there's something of a sense of its meaning.
