God's Peace
Come Away from Rush and Hurry
arr. C. J. Adams/arr. Brenda Austin.
This arrangement of the beloved BEACH SPRING melody, with a text by
Marva Dawn, centers on the theme of entering into worship where we
may find stillness in God's peace. The meditative hymn text draws from
the 23rd Psalm, with references to the table of the Lord, where all are
fed and thirsts are quenched. Ideal for a variety of worship uses. A stand-
alone 3-5 octave handbell accompaniment is also available.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
arr. Dan Forrest.
It would be difficult to find a more powerful arrangement of this beloved
hymn. This choral setting with piano offers several additional performance
options, including optional organ, brass quintet, percussion, and
orchestra. A quiet opening builds very gradually through the stanzas and
several key changes to a final brilliant stanza with optional congregation.
Very well done and inspirational.

Draw Me Nearer
Benjamin David Knoedler.
With a Celtic lilt, the beautiful revision of this hymn provides the listener with
the sounds of traditional hymnody. The mellowness of the instrumentation
creates a comforting foundation for the lyrics to rest on. This piece is simple
in melody and arrangement, making it perfect for an ensemble or solo.

For the Beauty of the Earth
arr. Eric Nelson.
This refreshing setting of the hymn tune DIX is set in a flowing 3/2 meter
which extends the phrases of the familiar hymn. This shift in meter
allows for a seamless blend into a verse of the
CRUSADER'S HYMN ("Fair
are the meadows...") before returning to the final verse. Well crafted and
accessible, use this lovely arrangement throughout the church year.

For the Beauty of the Earth
Michael John Trotta.
This stunning setting of the traditional hymn tune, DIX, is
approachable enough to be learned by most choirs and
compelling enough to engage both choir and listener. Beginning
with a short salutation (soprano divisi), the hymn anthem
unfolds, moving from unison to accessible yet full harmonies
supported by an independent piano or chamber orchestra
accompaniment. Duration 3:30 - 5:00, depending on whether
you use the optional instrumental introduction. A new favorite!
