Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1021650 Composed by Robert E. Benton, Jr. Christmas,Easter,Sacred. 9 pages. Robert E. Benton, Jr. #6287991. Published by Robert E. Benton, Jr. (A0.1021650). This choral arrangement of the hymn tells the story of hope through the incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and heavenly reign of Jesus Christ. Without Christ, we have no hope. We can find peace through discovering that all hope was born when angels sang... Whether celebrating Christmas or Easter, this hymn highlights our great need for our Lion Lamb. The SATB arrangement is appropriate for choral singing at the high school or collegiate level or above with piano accompaniment. The mood of the accompaniment and each choral part includes passages of great beauty, sorrow, and hope, while allowing a turn for each vocal group to carry the song in new and more interesting ways as the piece progresses through the story of hope in Christ. To maximize suitability at the high school level, an optional second soprano part is included in certain passages to accommodate artists lacking A5 in their vocal range. Vocal Ranges: Soprano:  E4 -- A5 (G5 for optional part); Alto: Bb3 – Bb4; Tenor: D3 – F4; Bass: G2 – Bb3 For more information… Website: https://TRUSTHYMN.wordpress.com   Email: TRUSTHYMN@yahoo.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrustHymn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trust_hymn/

SATB choir, organ - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.50-7074-E Composed by Alfred V. Fedak. Ascension, Christ the King, Easter, Easter Vigil. Instrument part. 11 pages. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #50-7074-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.50-7074-E). This anthem is a powerful setting of the Welsh hymn tune Bryn Calfaria. Commissioned by organist Huw Lewis in memory of his parents, and first performed at the rededication of the historic 1929 E. M. Skinner organ at Hope College, Holland, Michigan, the work features a strong, independent organ part and sonorous choral textures. The nineteenth-century text by George Hugh Bourne makes this work appropriate for Easter, Ascension, choral festivals, or other occasions when a dramatic act of musical praise is called for.

The chorus quotes the heavenly voice, This is my Son in whom I am well pleased. Then the vivid text shifts the focus to a baptism of a child of God on this day, and now the Holy Spirit seems to say: This is my child in whom I am well pleased. This is my child who comes to follow me.

A gentle Christmas Lullaby with new words by William Hastings.This version is for SATB choir but it is also available from Sheetmusicplus in a unison or 2 part version. The gently flowing melodic line will be easily learnt by children or adults and the simple, yet effective, accompaniment provides interest and colour with a few delicate references to other 'manger' carols. The words of the first verse are belowThe eastern star shone through Bethlehem's nightGuiding the wise men with heavenly lightThe angels in chorus sang a new songThe light of the world has been bornThe hope of the world has comeTo show us a world of loveHis beauty adorned in his mother's embraceA miracle of His grace(The Mp3 recording above is just one verse and has been taken from the computer program that generates the printed music so consequently sounds rather 'computerised' but hopefully will give some indication of how it will sound when performed!)

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.747199 Composed by Christopher R. Brown. Christian,Gospel,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Octavo. 9 pages. Christopher Brown #4628111. Published by Christopher Brown (A0.747199). About the song: In John 14, Jesus says, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. We are severely mistaken if we think that any other road leads to peace with God. No amount of good deeds could pay for the debt we owe. But we are also mistaken if we think that we are too far gone from Christ's reach. This song is a message for both the self-righteous and the hopeless. There is a Way that leads to life forevermore with our Heavenly Father, and His Name is Jesus Christ. All who enter through the gate of Christ by faith will be saved. He came that you might have life, and have it to the full. Rejoice! If you can believe, believe!Can be performed with piano accompaniment only, OR with additional band members, OR with full orchestra*.Please Note:You can purchase individual copies of the choral score separately on Sheet Music Plus. Performance of this piece requires the purchase of one choral score per singer.*Full orchestration and parts also available on Sheet Music Plus.Included in your Purchase:Piano AccompanimentLyrics:Verse 1There’s a way that seems right to the human eye,A path that we think is best.We pretend to go on believing,That a good life can pass the test.But the best that we have to offer,Is no more than a filthy rag.When we stand before God, the Father,There is only one Name that will save.Chorus 1Jesus is The Way,Jesus is The Truth,Jesus is The Life for me and you.Jesus is The Door,And all who enter through,Will be saved and be made new.Jesus is The Way.Verse 2We were shackled in chains of sin and shame,Walking blinded by selfish gain.Every turn led to disappointment,Wanting more with each passing day.Prechorus 2But the blood of a precious Saviour,Can remove every guilty stain.He will carry your ev’ry burden,There is hope in Him today!Chorus 2Jesus is The Way,Jesus is The Truth,Jesus is The Life for me and you.Jesus is The Door,And all who enter through,Will be saved and be made new.Jesus is The Way,Jesus is The Way.BridgeStraight and narrow is the road that leads to life forevermore,There’s only One Who paid the price,The perfect, spotless sacrifice,Only Jesus Christ!Chorus 3Jesus is The Way,Jesus is The Truth,Jesus is The Life for me and you.Jesus is The Door,And all who enter through,Will be saved and be made new.Jesus is The Way,Jesus is The Way,Jesus is The Way!

Published by Kevin G. Pace (A0.701759). An original hymn with text by Kathryn W. Hales below.YouTube video: https://youtu.be/fxh5D3JYM_o When I see the world through a child’s eyes, I see mountains and bluebirds and bright butterflies; I feel sand through my toes when at the beach And the apples on the tree just out of reach. When I see the world through a child’s eyes, It’s easy to believe in a Heavenly Father so wise, That He created this earth and all its beauty untold; I still hope to see it that way when I’m old. When I see a family through the eyes of a child, I see a father who provides and a mother who smiles; I have brothers and sisters who are kind to me And we all play together in harmony. When I see a family through the eyes of a child, I can believe in Heavenly Parents, loving and mild, I can view each person as someone of worth And accept them as God’s family here on the earth. When I see others through the eyes of a child, I can learn compassion, to speak without guile; I can be teachable, forgiving, honest, and true, When I see the kind things others may do. It’s easy to believe in a God who is just, When I learn from others to show mercy and trust. I can learn patience while waiting a while, For God’s blessings to come to an obedient child. (Optional for the Christmas season) When I see Christmas through a child’s eyes, I feel laughter and magic and wondrous surprise; I love lights and music and cookies and songs, I want to serve others and never do wrong. It’s easy to believe when Baby Jesus was born Though ‘twas long ago on that Christmas morn, That Love had come down to redeem and glorify, When I see our Savior through a child’s eyes.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Digital Download SKU: A0.976725 Composed by Robert Myers. Christian,Gospel,Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. WheatMyer Music #5191475. Published by WheatMyer Music (A0.976725). Make His Praise a Glorious Thing is a new setting of the English language's great doxology from the pen of Thomas Ken. It builds on his words with references to the multitude of Psalmic exhortations to exuberantly praise God in manifold ways and make His praise glorious. The character of the piece reflects this with a joyous and spirited aesthetic above a driving tempo. The text also juxtaposes our contemporary praises within the historic stream of doxologies from saints past and future as a precursor to the eternal, magnificent, and heavenly doxologies portrayed in Revelation 5 and 7. The melody correspondingly has roots in the traditional Old 100th Psalm tune as well, although it will take a keen ear to catch it.Although set for SATB choir, it is hoped that the accessible melody will find a place in your congregational singing also. Make His Praise a Glorious Thing is a wonderful call to worship, responsorial, or sacred concert opening or closing. Optional orchestration is available separately.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.719738 Composed by Various. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Sacred. Octavo. 13 pages. Curtis Hanson #4573123. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.719738). As years come and go, one increasingly recalls memories of earlier times. One of the most vivid and cherished memories I have while growing up is of Sunday mornings, going to church, sitting in the same pew each week with my grandmother, hearing and singing the beautiful hymns of our faith, and then returning home to the aroma of beef slowly roasting in the oven. My father directed the church choir, my mother and older brothers sang in the choir, so the wonderful music of our faith was instilled in me from an early age. This medley, and others in the series, are arrangements of many of my favorite hymns from those early years, many of which have been lost in more recent editions. For this series, I have mostly elected to use the older texts as that is the way they were first written and the way I first learned them. (See below for more comment on the texts in this set.) There is a reverence and beauty in the language enriching the vocal/choral tone which, I believe, is lost in contemporary, conversational, or politically correct syntax. I shudder to think of the day when a penitential phrase such as Hear thou my prayer, O Lord is rendered as Hey, God-dude, listen up - I'm talkin' atcha! I have also opted not to include the many wonderful hymns and carols which are associated with the major festivals of Christmas and Easter as those are commonly found in other collections. A caveat: I have no delusions, and I offer no pretenses, that these settings are great art. They are simply expressions of faith which I hope may bring a small measure of joy to other church musicians. The hymns in this set are Children of the Heavenly Father, Day by Day, Thy Holy Wings, and Beautiful Savior. A note on the texts in this set: Having grown up in a Swedish Lutheran church, the grandson of Swedish/Norwegian immigrants, and currently being choir director of another Swedish Lutheran church, these hymns have a special place for me. This set was originally arranged for my church choir with the first verse of each in Swedish. Being under copyright, permission was obtained to use the more familiar English translations of the first three songs for local use. For this edition, I have opted to create my own texts for the first and third hymns while the second is a translation in public domain. I have also provided a verse in English in lieu of the Swedish for those Nordically challenged. The fourth hymn is not a Swedish melody but for obvious reasons is a mainstay of the Lutheran hymnal. Like the other hymns, the first verse is in Swedish while the other traditional verses are also public domain.
