GENERAL ANTHEMS
The Majesty and Glory of Your Name—Tom
Fettke. A classic! With music and text of rare
quality, this anthem has proven itself year after
year. The music, at times hushed but intense,
at others bold and majestic, freely ebbs and
flows to follow the text. "When I gaze into the
night skies and see the work of Your fingers,
the moon and stars suspended in space..."
A true treasure for the believer.

to our Lord for compassion and forgiveness.
Lyricist Susan Bentall Boersma incorporates
the Greek "Kyrie eleison" (Lord, have mercy)
into her original text, while composer Craig
Courtney merges reflective music to create a
loving petition for absolution and grace. You'll
not want to miss sharing this gorgeous setting
with your singers and worshipers. Suitable for
use during Lent or general reflection anytime of
the year.

My Feet Are Tired, but My Soul Is Resting—
Francis Smith Thomas/arr. Shawn Kirchner. This
song by Francis Smith Thomas, a close friend of
the Martin Luther King, Jr. family, was inspired
by the words of a woman who participated in the
Montgomery bus boycott, a pivotal event in the
civil rights movement. This powerful hymn-like
arrangement opens with a soprano solo written
in honor of Coretta Scott King, who premiered
the piece as a soprano solo.

compassion. Commissioned by the Wartburg
Choir and Dr. Lee Nelson, it was premiered at
Christmas at Wartburg in 2019.

Psalm 33 are set for choir and piano with
optional flute or violin. Text including "The
earth is full of the goodness of the Lord"

is inspired by Psalm 5:11 and Jeremiah
29:11 and features an opening violin motive

dynamics. "Not unto us, but to Your name be
the glory."

Now Is the Cool of the Day—Jean Ritchie/
arr. Kevin Siegfried. Set in Shaker harmony
style, this is a great contribution to an Earth
Day celebration. The voice-leading is both

responsibility to care for the earth.

with lively extended statements of the Latin
text, Jubilate Deo, Alleluia, set in close four-
part writing with occasional call-and-response.

concerts or worship.
11393426 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
O King of Love!—Lloyd Larson. Successfully
combining the sacred poetry of Horatius Bonar,
the melody of Gustav Holst's
THAXTED, and
additional original text and melodic material
from the composer, the result is a sublime
expression of praise that honors the past while
expressing devotion and adoration to the King
of Love who gave his life for us. The option to
add the congregation for the final statement
makes this a worshipful experience for Easter
or any time of year.
