Descriptive of the wonder of the manger this new anthem by Dale Grotenhuis is full of choral beauty featuring warm a cappella sections. Duration: ca. 3:30.

Patricia Mock composes melodies and words that flow easily with passion and truth. This anthem celebrates Christ's sacrifice and love for us with that same flowing quality. Faye López has set it beautifully with a well-crafted piano part alternating melodies between the vocal parts and smart modulations. Excellent for Communion or Lent. Easy to Medium.

The text from Psalm 27 is a familiar one about keeping the faith when times are hard and Mark Roseberry's setting does it great service. The musical path that leads to the word wait is hopeful and reassuring. The silence following wait is appropriately descriptive and the final a cappella moment is brilliant. A church anthem of assurance.

This anthem is a prayer of gratitude and trust that would be effective almost anytime. Thanks to some references to the Comforter it is also effective during pentecost. The music is gentle in nature with a flowing melody.

This anthem may begin gently and humbly but the sorrow soon gives way to joy. The verses and chorus are wonderfully melodic with a moving piano accompaniment. The poem presents the emptiness of being alone and the security of being found in the arms of Jesus. Easy to medium for church choirs non-seasonal.
