BAPTISM
ANTHEMS
Be Not Afraid—Craig Courtney.
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.

Deep Is the Love of the Lord—Joseph M. Martin.
Buoyant with hopefulness, this joyful anthem in 6/8 rises and falls in
waves of assurance. Flute and piano accompany the refreshing
images of sacred water flowing into the heart of the listener. Unison
singing establishes confidence, with harmonies adding depth.
This sacred selection is a welcome addition to music for baptisms
or services of renewal.

From the Waters I Will Rise—Marty Haugen.
The tune of this baptismal song reflects the energy of the text, "From the
waters I will rise and walk... from kneeling I will stand and sing." While
appropriate for any baptism, this song will be especially meaningful
during the baptism of youth or adults.

Wade in the Living Water—Rebecca Fair & Michael Barrett.
This unique anthem begins slowly with a quote from Wade in the Water,
optionally sung as a solo, which lays the framework for a jazzy appeal
to renewal and commitment. An original melody with a swing feel is
contrasted with a legato section before pairing with a return of the
traditional spiritual. "Follow your dream to the living stream. Wade on in,
live again."

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.

Borning Cry—John Yvlisaker/arr. Kadidlo.
"I was there to hear your borning cry, I'll be there when you are old."

life - even before a child is aware that God is there. A lyric gem for
two-part mixed voices, it includes a whisper of Jesus Loves Me and a
haunting solo on soprano saxophone, which can be played by any other
C instrument. A fine choice for Baptisms or Home and Family Sundays.

memorable worship moment. The two-part texture has additional optional
divisi for a full SATB choir sound. "Children of the heavenly Father safely
in His bosom gather. Nestling bird nor star in Heaven, such a refuge e'er
was given."

and God loves you!" A happy clarinet part is included.
