"We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died"

"We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died" was the hymn in the Concordia University Wisconsin chapel service on 11 April last year.  In it, I found yet an-other instance of a small feature I've been noting a lot lately.

The hymn is sung to the tune "Windham."  Here's the last musical phrase:

In the third verse, the text here, describing the cross, is "And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup."  The phrase "ev'ry bitter cup" is sung to notes of all different pitches (A G F E D), giving a sense of this extent, especially since the pitches span a rather large interval.
