GENERAL ANTHEMS
H Be Not Afraid—Craig Courtney. Commissioned by
a church in Sioux City, Iowa, which was forced to
relocate due to flooding, this lyrical anthem speaks
of God's presence with us in times of hardship and of
His infinite mercy. A wonderful musical expression of
comfort and courage for confirmation, child baptism
or dedication, or any time you wish to convey the love
of God through Isaiah's words of redemption: "You
are precious in My sight." The opening statement can
be sung by sopranos or solo voice, but is especially
appropriate for children's voices.
