In the Shadow of His Wings—Lloyd
Larson. "As the path leads through sorrow,
will the Lord still be my stay? Jesus answers

Let There Be Peace on Earth—Sy
Miller & Jill Jackson/arr. Jay Rouse. This
multigenerational arrangement of the famous
song is crafted to blend a children's choir and
an adult choir. The delicate opening by the
children's choir begins in unison, then splits
into two easy-to-sing parts before leading into
a power crescendo where the children are
joined by full SATB scoring. In a suspenseful
moment, the arrangement relaxes into a quiet,
touching ending with a children's solo singing
the final phrase.

Lift Up Your Voice and Sing—Joel
Raney. Incorporating All Creatures of Our
God and King, this festival anthem pairs
the traditional text with an original rhythmic
theme. Employing some mixed meter, it drives
towards the eventual entrance of the

ERFREUEN tune, propelled by a driving piano
accompaniment and crowned by a brilliant
3-octave handbells option.
11393424 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
Lift Your Voice and Rejoice!—Victor C.
Johnson. Triumphant and energetic opening
and closing sections fill this original work with
syncopated momentum and brisk harmonic
development. A contrasting middle section
sings "Gaudeamus hodie" with lyrical lines in
smooth choral counterpoint before reprising to
a glorious finish. A wonderful choice to open a
concert, festival, or service!

Look at the World—John Rutter. Original
text and music combine for an inspiring choral
selection that speaks reverently of the many
small miracles of nature that surround each of
us. "Look at the world, everything all around
us; Look at the world, and marvel every day..."

John Rutter. Now available is a four-piece
chamber ensemble accompaniment that

Look to the Rock—Lloyd Larson. "God's
light will safely see you through." Opening
slowly and expressively, this anthem reminds
us that, in times of sorrow and stress, we
need to look to Christ, who calms the raging
seas. Transitioning through a verse of
THE
SOLID ROCK, it rises in key and volume to an
affirming conclusion.
11393820 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95
Lord of the Small—Dan Forrest. This tender
hymn of praise reminds us that in the end we
are all weak and broken and that the Heavenly
Father deals lovingly and mercifully with all
of His children. Written in memory of little
Erin Buenger, who lost her battle to cancer
at the age of 10, this beautiful anthem will
challenge your congregation to live life in all
circumstances to the glory of God - just as she
did. A fitting tribute for memorial services and
services of remembrance.
