Bread of Heaven—Karen Marrolli.
While an obvious choice for a communion
anthem, the text based on John 6:33 takes
us beyond the immediate table into the world
outside. Pleading with the "Holy Bread of
Heaven" for peace, justice, unity, and an end
to suffering and violence, this anthem is very
timely for our world situation. The E minor
tonality is somber yet hopeful, the piano
accompaniment simple but supportive.

Called to Remember—David Lantz III.
Written for choir with piano accompaniment,
this original communion anthem recalls the

accessible with very little divisi, this anthem will
add to the observance of communion at any
time of the year.

Celtic Laud—Pamela Martin &
Craig Courtney. A reverent beauty! Sensitive
and beautifully lyrical, this dreamy Celtic original
has a simple melody written in the style of
an Irish folk song with an optional flute that
adds a nice touch. With themes of gratitude
and "the bread and the wine, the gift of Your
feast," the sincere poetry makes it a wonderful
offering for communion and Thanksgiving. An
optional ending allows the flute to embellish the
tune while the choir quietly provides harmonic
accompaniment. This will have a lasting
impression on the listener!

Come and Share—John A. Behnke.
This engaging worship song invites believers
to come and share God's joy, hope, and love
while living for the Lord. Sectional spotlights
alternate with four-part sonorities in the
accessible choral writing. All are supported by
the piano accompaniment and nicely decorated
by optional handbells.

Come Before the Table—Karen Marrolli.
The music for this communion text is
constructed with a duet or semi-chorus singing
above a choir ostinato, a cappella with hand
drum, creating a multicultural, polyrhythmic
effect. The layered vocal construction is fun to
teach and sing. The middle section includes the
17th century chant, Adoro te devote.

Come Share the Lord—
Bryan Jeffery Leech/arr. Keith Christopher.
This beautiful communion offering nearly
floats right from the page. A meaningful text is
brought to life through flowing melodic line and
a stunning piano part. References to angels
make this a wonderful choice for December
communion, but it is also fitting for any time the
church gathers at the Lord's table.

Come, Taste the Joy of the Lord—
David Bailes/arr. Douglas Nolan.
A sparkling piano accompaniment provides
the underscore for this joyful song of grace.
The 6/8 meter invigorates as the worshipper
hears "We are invited to enter the feast.
Come to the table of peace." The invitation is
extended to all, making this a song of unity for
communion or any gathering.

Do This and Remember—Brad Nix.
In this communion anthem we are taken into

Your congregation will be drawn into grateful
reflection as the choir passionately proclaims,
"Death is not the final answer, all who feast on
me will live!"

Draw Us in the Spirit's Tether—
Harold Friedell. Harold Friedell's beautifully
rendered anthem for mixed choir and organ is

or general worship. This standard of church
repertoire is available in a special SAB edition
that has been carefully adapted from Friedell's
existing material for a broader audience.

Dreamers and Doubters—
Joseph M. Martin. Softly and Tenderly Jesus

unity through this lovely communion offering,
flexibly voiced with optional tenor. The anthem
is built on an alliterative and inclusive text that
describes the diversity of seekers moving in
unity towards the table of grace.

Fear Not, for I Have Redeemed You—

as scripture is embraced by a moving melody
and graceful harmony. Delicate and refined,

service in which redemption and salvation are
the themes.

and versatile hymn is a joyous anthem for
use throughout the year. A lovely optional
instrumental accompaniment helps to highlight
the theme: "Gather us in, all peoples together,
fire of love in our flesh and our bone."

arr. Mark Hayes. This lilting melody in 6/8 meter
is a joyful invitation to gather the people of God,

the Lord. A wonderful choice for use as a choral
introit, as well as an anthem for Communion.
