For he shall give his angels is one of the best-known movements from Mendelssohn’s oratorio Elijah. In this arrangement for choir and organ, the movement can now be performed as a standalone work in church services and in concert. Alternatively, there is the earlier version for choir a cappella: Carus 40.479/50.
