Joseph Martin & Susan Bentall Boersma.
Joseph M. Martin and lyricist Susan Bentall Boersma combine forces to create
this dramatic anthem that moves from a pensive, haunting opening into an
ebullient paraphrase of Isaiah's prophetic words: "Valleys rise up, rise up to
meet Him; mountains bow down, bow down to greet Him." Don't miss this
special anthem by one of America's best composers.

I Hear the Prophet Callin'
Pepper Choplin.
This mesmerizing original opens with the haunting call of the distant prophet,
"Prepare the way of the Lord." The choir responds as the voice of the
faithful, "Make straight the way in the desert for our God." Composed in a
simple, Appalachian folk style, this little gem sparkles with creativity. Optional
instrumental accompaniment adds a plaintive touch that is just right for Advent
or Christmas morning.

Lift Up Your Eyes
Joel Raney.
Designed to support the lighting of the Advent candles, this includes a choral
opening followed by a call and response litany with piano underscore, then

comes back in with the option of adding the congregation. The candle lighting
portion of your service concludes with the provided prayer. There are five
readings, one for each candle. Reproducible parts for the congregation and 7
optional handbells are included.
