The Waters of Grace—Joseph M. Martin.
Steadily flowing with the refreshing message of God's mercy and grace,
this lilting folk-style anthem is a quick learn for your singers. A thinner choral
texture allows for lyrical clarity and lightness of timbre as the invitation goes
out to come to "the waters of grace" to be renewed and refreshed. A call-
and-response anthem, ideal for rededication or baptism services.

Bless This House—Victor C Johnson.

Thee." Following this, a brief "Amen" section brings the music to a
gentle conclusion.

Remembering Home—Orin Johnson.
Two profound songs of exile are paired in this moving anthem: the Latin
text of Psalm 137, "Super flumina Babylonis," which is the Israelites' lament
of their exile in Babylon, and the slavery-era spiritual Sometimes I Feel
Like a Motherless Child. Set in F minor, with poignant dissonances in the
accompaniment that mirror the anguish of the lyrics, this will be especially
appropriate during any season or service of lament with people who have
suffered devastation, displacement, persecution, or oppression. Easily
learned, hard to forget.
