It plays in the campaign level The Truth and Reconciliation, in the cinematic in which Jacob Keyes is rescued, when Cortana talks about Halo possessing a religious significant to the Covenant.

The piece was given a new rendition and incorporated into the opening moments of the music played in the Warthog run in the Halo 3 campaign level Halo.
