In England, it’s typically sung during the high feasts and solemnities, or masses of great significance (equivalent of the old high mass), such as the Chrism Mass, Ordinations, Easter, and during the Easter season. This is because, as you said, it’s very triumphant and sounds stunning with a full choir. It’s also brilliant during Christmas. That said, it’s also common during Ordinary Time because it’s not about a particular event, more about Jesus’ life and mission, so it fits then too. Not so much during the first weeks of Lent (I personally think it is a good hymn for Palm Sunday, though not better than the traditional hymns and chants).
Beautiful & solemn hymn. Just remembered my secondary school days in the seminary.
Love this
One of the finest hymns! Keep it up!

This Song touched my heart and soul, very nice piece. Can someone share pdf with me I wanna sing it with my choir in South Africa 🇿🇦
For which season is this hymn sung? It sounds sad, but also also hopeful/triumphant.
It can be used in any season
