Day of Arising—Carl Schalk/arr. Michael Burkhardt. This accessible
arrangement of Carl Schalk's hymn tune,
RAABE, is perfect for the smaller
choir with optional congregational singing. Susan Palo Cherwien's text
compares the story of Jesus's appearance to the disciples on the roadway
with the way in which Christ is revealed to us in the breaking of bread.

"Draw nigh and take the Body of the Lord, and drink the holy Blood
for you outpoured. Saved by that Body and that holy Blood, with souls
refreshed, we render thanks to God." Set at a very slow tempo, this
Communion anthem is reverent and prayerful.

harmonies of the subsequent verses, this new communion anthem is

t I Come With Joy—Normand J. Gouin. Brian Wren's familiar text
is paired with an elegant new melody in a setting whose textures are
varied by verse and are both a cappella and accompanied. An arresting
modulation adds substantial interest and is followed by a smooth return
to the home key.

L Lamb of God—Ronald A. Nelson/arr. Stephen Caracciolo.
A choral anthem crafted from the familiar communion setting used
in many Lutheran congregations, this arrangement expands to three
iterations. The first time uses the standard harmonies, the second
features a soprano solo with the choir humming the traditional harmony,
and on the last verse the choir sings slightly altered harmonies with a
soprano descant. Lovely, and useful for communion or during Lent.

O Sacrum Convivium—Ricky Manalo/arr. Gerard Chiusano.
With a text that includes writings from St. Thomas Aquinas,
St. Paul, and St. Augustine ("May we become what we receive"),
this Communion song is both beautiful and catechetical. Scored for
choir with descant accompanied by keyboard and guitar, its stately
rhythms and harmonic progressions give this piece a kind of timeless
majesty that reminds us not just of the solemnity of the sacrament but
the call to action contained therein.

L Taste and See—Tom Porter. An expressive communion anthem for
congregation, cantor, and choir from Tom Porter. This familiar text is set
to a memorable, easy new melody with an expressive accompaniment
of piano and flute (or other C instrument). The stanzas may be sung by
a soloist, cantor, or unison choir, and recall God's provision throughout
the Old and New Testament. An optional harmonization for SAB is also
included, along with a reproducible congregational page. Lovely choice
for any Eucharistic celebration.

makes it a very accessible anthem. The congregation can also optionally
participate in singing the refrain.

DL Think of Me and Remember—Joel Raney. This Communion original
by Joel Raney speaks through the voice of Christ saying, "Come and
follow me; my life I give so you may live." Useful for any Communion
service, it is particularly effective during the season of Lent and Holy
Week as it builds to the scene at Calvary. Choirs will appreciate the
melodic lines and the intensity that builds before finally returning to the
key phrase, "think of me and remember."

communion anthem draws on the unity of all believers who are
gathered to break bread. It features a powerful melody that supports
the text, "Come to the feast and be restored, we are one at the table
of Christ, the Lord!" The tune KINGSFOLD appears in the middle and

west," making this an ideal selection for World Communion Sunday.
