It Happened on That Fateful NIght—
arr. Robert Powell. The entire story of Christ's
passion is found in this Isaac Watts text, from
the fateful night to the body broken. The sturdy

two lyric verses of original material before a
strong return to finish, "Oh Lord, your feast we
celebrate." While usable for any communion
service during Lent, this hymn arrangement is
especially appropriate for Maundy Thursday.

of the melodic material, enhanced with original

betrayal, and darkness of that poignant night in
Gethsemane. With references to how the Prince
of Darkness is still affecting our lives, this is truly
a text that speaks to the world today.

for Holy Week!

of grace. A beautiful melody in minor creates a
very moving moment in your worship. Adding
full harmonies brings warmth to the expressive
text. This is a piece you will turn to again and
again when you celebrate communion.

When You Prayed Beneath the Trees—
Christopher Idle & Lloyd Larson.
Especially meaningful during the days of
Holy Week, the text relates to our Lord
praying in the garden of Gethsemane, and
weaves around the tree theme found in
many scriptures about the cross. The original
accompaniment is for piano, plus optional
flute, oboe, French horn and cello and
perfectly captures the somber mood. This top-
seller is now available in both unison and SSA.

Where Compassion and Love Abide
(Ubi Caritas)—Philip M. Hayden. A treasured
truth for troubled times, this anthem's theme is
beautifully poignant. After an initial statement
in English, the same text is expressed in Latin
(with English alternative), bringing the ancient
text alive. Bathed in serenity, the melody is
delicate and carries the message of charity and
hope to the heart of the listener.
