This piece by Benjamin M. Culli paints a beautiful image of heaven. Arranged for SATB and piano, Culli treats the text with a lyrical tune and supportive piano accompaniment. The piece builds and modulates in the middle section, then finishes quietly in the original key. A moving selection for All Saints' Day.
A rest remains for all the weary;Arise, sad heart, and grieve no more;Though long the way, and dark and dreary,It opens to the golden shore.Before His throne the Lamb will lead you,On heav'nly pastures He will feed you,Cast off your burden, come with haste;Soon toil and strife will be unraveled,The weary way that you have traveled,Sweet is the rest that you will taste.
The Father's house has many a dwelling,And there for you a place will be.With perfect love His heart is wellingWho loved you from eternity.His precious blood the Lamb has givenThat you may share the joys of heaven,And now He calls out far and near:'You weary souls, cast off your sorrow;My light shines bright upon the morrow.Come, sweetest rest awaits you here!'
There rest and peace in endless measureWill be ours through eternity;No grief, no care, will mar our pleasure,And untold joy our lot will be.Oh, had we wings to hasten yonder—No more this sinful world to ponder—To join the glad, triumphant band!Arise, my soul, forget all sadness,For peace awaits you, joy and gladness—The perfect rest and promised land.

Though related to the familiar Johann Crger melody, this is a freely composed anthem on the Franck/Winkworth text. The second verse gives a solo line to each choral part, capturing the sweetness, yearning, and hope the text implies. The final verse portrays the sacred intimacy of Communion and restates the soaring melody from the first verse one-half step higher. Median ranges are used.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 3-. Lloyd Larson's pairing of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Pat-a-Pan is a delight to listen to or play. Driving malleted rhythms underpin the melody until a brief echo section which gives way to the malleted rhythms once more. A key change introduces the Pat-a-Pan melody before a return to the original key brings the piece in to its exciting conclusion. A must-have for this Christmas season!
