The melody for The Wonders of Dawn comes from a tune called Kedron, attributed to Elkanah Kelsay Dare (1782-1826). The Wonders of Dawn highlights the celebration of the joy of our Savior during Holy Week. The performance approach for this piece should be one of reverence and restraint. Both vocal parts and piano accompaniment should be performed legato throughtout. Singers should take care as not to sing with an overly heavy tone but not at the expense of vocal support. The dynamics in m. 29-30 should be carefully observed to insure the maximum expression of the final declaration of faith of the text.

HYMNS OF WORSHIP takes a bold, fresh look into the heart of today’s original songs of worship; foundational songs of faith... the hymns of the Church. Hymns are an expression of our adoration of the only true God. Through hymns we praise Him for His mighty acts, exalt Him in worship, give thanks for His love and mercy, and declare His wisdom, power and majesty. In hymns we contrast the sinful nature of man with the redeeming nature of a loving God. And with hymns we sing; with loftiness of concept and language rich in reverence and dignity, we sing! Hymns give voice to our beliefs, causing our spirits to rise, soaring on wings of faith.

WORD Music Publications is honored to introduce this hallmark new book for choir, soloists and orchestra, arranged by the creative team of David Wise and David Shipps. We believe in these powerful songs of the Church. We believe in the tradition of singing Hymns. We are committed to keeping these songs active in the musical repertoire of
today’s Church. We believe in their relevance. We believe in the truth of the doctrine and theology taught through the lyrics of these timeless songs. It is our hope that the compelling new arrangements found in Hymns of Worship will instill in you a new vision for these songs. And we pray that they will inspire you and your choir to sing them with a new voice and a fervent and renewed passion for declaring the greatness of our God!

This comfoirting song for funerals, memorial services, All Souls, and other such events uses a text repeated at the end of each verse as a response to that verse's declaration of God's tender care and faithfulness. Even as the texture of each successive verse varies in complexity, that response serves as a constant, like the anchor that our faith in God provides even in the darkest times. Your community will grow to love this piece more every time they sing it.
