When the Daffodils Arrive – David A. Zabriskie, arranger
Words by the late Reverend Carl G. Seaburg of the Unitarian Universalist Association and music from an Hasidic tune, David Zabriskie creates an a cappella arrangement for Solo Voice and SATB Choir.
When the daffodils arrive
in the Easter of the year,
and the spirit starts to thrive,
let the heart beat free and clear.
When the pussy willows bloom
in the springing of the year,
let the heart find loving room
spread their welcome far and near.
When the sweet rain showers come,
in the greening of the year,
birds will sing and bees will hum.
Alleluia time is here.
-Carl G. Seaburg (1922-1998)

Spirit of Life
Spirit of Life – Carolyn Mcdade; arr. David A. Zabriskie
No other song, no other prayer, no other piece of liturgy is so well known and loved in Unitarian Universalism as “Spirit of Life” by Carolyn McDade.
It is our Doxology, or perhaps our “Amazing Grace.” Many congregations sing it every Sunday, or at least enough to know the words by heart. Sermons have been devoted to this one song. A new adult religious education curriculum being field-tested this fall is based on the song. It is sung at weddings and memorial services, around campfires and at demonstrations, at cradles and hospital bedsides.
In six short lines “Spirit of Life” touches so much that is central to our faith—compassion, justice, community, freedom, reverence for nature, and the mystery of life. It finds the common ground held by humanists and theists, pagans and Christians, Buddhists and Jews, gay and straight among us.
Spirit of Life, come unto me.
Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
Roots hold me close; wings set me free;
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.
