The Waters of Grace—Joseph M. Martin.
Steadily flowing with the refreshing message
of God's mercy and grace, this lilting folk-style
anthem is a quick learn for your singers. A
thinner choral texture allows for lyrical clarity and
lightness of timbre as the invitation goes out to
come to "the waters of grace" to be renewed
and refreshed. A call-and-response anthem,
ideal for rededication or baptism services.

The Wayfaring Stranger—arr. John Karl
Hirten. Opening with a quiet verse for unison
treble voices and accompaniment, this somber
yet satisfying arrangement develops the choral
texture slowly and includes sections of a
cappella singing. Harmonies vary from pure
and sparse to more rich and full. The bass
solo can be sung by a small section. The text's
reference to "crossing Jordan" lends it special
resonance for times of remembrance.
11395301 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
We Are Held—Susan LaBarr & Jim Wilson.
In times of trial, there is great comfort in being
held. Robert Bode's encouraging text reflects
upon the ways in which all things are held
together. The gentle ballad setting is lyrical
and approachable, and allows space for the
emotion of the text to shine through for either
concerts or services.

We Are Not Alone—Pepper Choplin. "We are
not alone, God is with us." Here is a piece that
succinctly captures a confident thought and
presents it in a straightforward, honest way.
The choir supplies rhythmic energy while the
soloist glides above in smooth sustained lines.
Accessible and effective with large or smaller
choirs, this piece touches the heart with its
simple but profound message. Originally
conceived as an a cappella anthem, the
optional orchestration adds a dramatic element.

We Behold His Glory—Pepper Choplin. The
text of this anthem celebrates Jesus on earth
being the hands and feet of God the Father
incarnate in flesh. This anthem is fitting for
celebrating Palm Sunday, Advent, or anytime
throughout the year. From the cantata The
Body of Christ.

We Know That Nothing Separates Us—
Lloyd Larson. This stunning anthem opens with
original music on text adapted from Romans
8:38-39. Superbly crafted, it incorporates
the hymn tune
DIADEMATA with a new text,
organ or piano accompaniment, and nicely
varied vocal textures including some divisi and
an a cappella section. Flowing through key
changes, it builds to the bold final statement:
"Nothing separates us from the love of God in
Jesus Christ, our Lord!"
11393831 SATB w/organ or piano . . . 3.20

original melody for a familiar and comforting
text by Henry Alford, these settings are
accessible for choirs of various sizes. Optional
divisi is given for larger choirs, and a solo
version is also available.

What Does It Cost to Follow Jesus?—
Michael S. Bryson. This new anthem of
dedication will be a wonderful addition to your
choir's repertoire. Unison tenor-bass voices
ask questions in the first verse, while treble
voices give scriptural answers with lovely
harmonies in the second. All voices join on the
third verse with a message of commitment to
follow Jesus. An inspiring key change cleverly
introduces the folk song I Have Decided to
Follow Jesus, which acts as a partner song to
the original melody. The wedding of these two
melodies creates a single heartfelt expression
of dedication. A delightful flute part is included.
11373698 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
When I Sing—Rebecca Fair/arr. Roger
Thornhill. This simple piece delivers a message
of assurance and hope: God will be with you
always. Use with adults and young voices
singing together for optimal impact. The
optional sign language will leave a lingering
effect on those gathered, making this a
wonderful choice for any time of the year.

When the Storms of Life Are Raging—arr.
Victor C. Johnson. This text has challenged
and inspired many through the years, calling
on God to stay by your side during difficult
times. This setting is a gentle reimagining of
the words, rich with a new melody and heartfelt
harmonies. The more lyrical approach, with
lovely piano styling, sheds new light on the
treasured text to affirm our community and
need for fellowship. Truly a song for our time!
11347991 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Where There Is Love—Karen Crane/
arr. Douglas Nolan. The simple melody in
this gentle anthem reminds the listener of
the heartbeat of the gospel: God is love!
Appropriate any time, the song is both
approachable and arranged for success. "Oh,
let God's love flow through me, like the air I
breathe, ev'ry word that I say, be a testament
of grace."
11347992 SAB and Cello. . . . . . . . . . 2.10
Who But the Lord?—Craig Courtney. An
opening tenor/bass chant of a lesser-known
verse of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel sets
the stage for this contemplative consideration
of Isaiah 58. While perfect for Advent, the
encouraging, hopeful nature of the text makes
it useful year round.
10757425 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Why, Lord?—Pepper Choplin. This original
anthem asks the question, "Why, Lord?" and
addresses the reality of our sinful and broken
world. The refrain provides assurance that
though struggles and hardships exist in this
life, God will not leave us nor forsake us and
that all is restored and made perfect in heaven.
11375776 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20

A Woman and a Coin—Paul D. Weber. This
graceful anthem reflects on various parables of
the lost. The lyrical melody is sung in unison and
canon, and the accompanying flutes provide a
sense of seeking. Use this anthem when the
stories of the Lost Coin, Lost Sheep, or Lost Son
are included in the lectionary readings.
11373951 Two-Part Mixed. . . . . . . . . 2.25
Wonderful Grace—Cindy Ovokaitys/arr.
Charles McCartha. This upbeat anthem of
praise is set with a Caribbean flavor, enlivened
by optional percussion. The easy intertwining
of melodies and addition of a final descant
make this a great choice for smaller choirs or
youth choirs. Referencing Amazing Grace, the
text invites everyone to "boldly shout out the
story of God's amazing grace!"
11393990 Two-Part Mixed. . . . . . . . . 2.20
The Word Was God—Rosephanye Powell.
What an impact this august anthem will
have on both choir and listeners! Its rhythmic
structure develops from the superb interplay
between the voices, and the layering of sound
upon sound creates a musical tapestry. Written
in an almost spiritual style, but definitely not a
spiritual, this will make a stunning choice for
larger church choirs!

and a contemporary classic touch. Rhythmic
and joyful, this anthem brings something
special to the end of any worship gathering.
