OCP's version of All Glory, Laud, and Honor

    I'm venting my frustration that OCP doesn't print All Glory, Laud, and Honor as a hymn with refrain and stanzas. I play "All Glory, Laud, and Honor... Hosannas ring" as a refrain, like many hymnals do. WHY?

    No one in the congregation has objected to singing it with a refrain, but it's a head-scratcher for sure. Probably for copyright $$$

    Is it that they simply don't indicate the refrain as such? (I don't have an OCP product to consult. Lucky me.) If it's merely that there's no indication to sing a refrain after the last verse, in my long experience, congregations will readily follow whatever the music ministers do (or don't do) in that regard. AGL&H is one of the easiest congregational hymns in terms of participation.
