It is mostly very quick (allegro) however towards the end of the piece there is a bar of silence. Followed by 3 slower bars marked (adagio) to create a drawn out ending.

| 4 points on the texture of 'And the glory of the Lord' | The piece alters between homophonic and contrapuntal texture. The first passage is sung by the whole chore and is homophonic. This is followed by the contrapuntal section 'shall be revealed'. There is a short monophonic passage in bars 108-9 Handel uses imitation, for example in bars 17 the tenors sing 'Shall be revealed' and this is repeated by the altos and basses. The number of parts varies. |
| 2 points on the word setting of 'And the glory of the Lord' | It is a mixture of syllabic and melismatic. For example motif four is syllabic. Where as motif 2 'revealed' is melismatic. Different phrase are repeated many times, helping to make it as clear as possible. |
