Abide With Mearr. Anna Laura Page. A hymn
of the prayerful heart, Abide with Me is beautifully
cast in this choral setting that is deeply expressive
and at times sublimely eloquent. Vocals glide over
a rolling piano accompaniment as the melody is
adorned with flute and solo handbell obbligati.
Judicious key changes bring the anthem to a
crescendo at just the right moment: "Heaven's
morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee." A
fine choice for memorials or dedicatory services as
well as other thoughtful moments in worship.

Amazing Love!David Rasbach. In quiet
moments of thought or prayer, sometimes the
depth of love shown by Christ to the believer is
simply overwhelming. This choral anthem captures
those most private thoughts with the text of Charles
Wesley's timeless hymn And Can It Be. An essay

dramatic, and always deeply grateful, the setting

accompaniment. Tender, melodic and deeply felt,
the piece offers its challenges, but will carry the
listener to that place of deepest gratitude to the
One who "emptied himself of all but love."
