Rest beyond the river. Robert Sterling has given William Doane’s 19th-century hymn standard a country gospel spin that brilliantly contemporizes the hymn while remaining true to its origins. A repetitive two-against-three rhythmic figure provides an intriguing flow to the accompaniment, which is underscored in the optional rhythm part. Showcase your choir and a female soloist with this inspired arrangement.

Ginger Breadhouse, Carolyn Bells, Holly Branch, Candy Cane, Mary, and...Ned, Ted and Jed! These are a few of the names to be found among the cast of the new Simply WordKidz Christmas musical, The Christmas Cross! Created by Jeff Slaughter, with tracks produced and arranged by the team of Preston and Spencer Dalton, The Christmas Cross is a super-easy-to-learn, 27-minute musical designed to help you celebrate the season with the perfect setting for your kids choir!

In the opening scene, Miss Carolyn Bells, our children's choir director, is leading the kids through their first rehearsal for this year's Christmas Extravaganza. As they begin to share their thoughts on Christmas, the heart of the story comes to the forefront as Mary begins to tell everyone about the Christmas Cross - a very special ornament with special significance - an heirloom, handed down by her grandmother. As she explains the meaning behind the ornament...You can't have Christmas without the Cross..., this fun, lighthearted musical is beautifully and simply transformed into a powerful message about the love of God and the message of the Gospel.

Full of great new songs, in tandem with traditional carols and a humor-filled, Biblically-sound script, The Christmas Cross highlights Jeff Slaughter's signature brand of creativity. And, for the first time, he brings his unique style and infectious spirit to the Simply WordKidz Series, a fresh line of EZ-to-Sing-EZ-to-Perform musicals designed for both excellence and accessibility by the smallest of choirs, or for choirs with little rehearsal time. Bring an extra dose of Christmas cheer to your performance through the use of the production-enhancing DVD Accompaniment Track available, from WordKidz.

Christmas isn't Christmas if it's not with you. Nashville music duo Dan + Shay wrote this sentimental ballad with their families in mind. The sweet melodic hook and a heartfelt text translate beautifully for choral singing. Stage an intimate performance with piano alone, invite a guitar player to strum along for some contemporary color, or use the orchestrated SoundTrax for full effect.
