The Gift, arrangement for SATB (but mostly SAB), with words with a contemporary and fresh approach when referencing the birth of Jesus Christ, is a lovely choice for any Christmas worship service. The gentle, rocking melody is easy and can be learned in just a couple of rehearsals. The refrain, “Share the gift that God has given; His gift to you, His Christmas gift, His gift to you and me” builds to a wonderful ending. Follow the words as you listen:
The Gift
Words: GARY CROXALL Music: KATHLEEN HOLYOAK
God’s Christmas gift was never wrapped
And tied up with a bow.
It wasn’t purchased in a shop
Nor found within a store.
It was a simple gift, indeed,
Yet sacred and sublime.
It was a gift of love, a gift of life
Of hope and peace divine.
Search out the gift, embrace it tenderly.
Share the gift that God has given,
His gift to you and me.
God gave no gold, no frankincense;
He gave no amber myrrh.
The Father gave to all mankind,
A baby fair and pure.
He gave His Son to you and me,
It was our Savior, Jesus Christ.
He is the gift, our Christmas gift,
Born that holy night.
Search out the gift, embrace it tenderly.
Share the gift that God has given;
His gift to you,
His Christmas gift,
His gift to you and me.

Dies irae, dies illa This day, this day of wrath
Solvet saeclum in favilla. shall consume the world in ashes.
What trembling there will be
When the judge shall come
to weigh everything strictly!
When the judge takes his seat
all that is hidden shall appear
Nothing will remain unavenged
What shall I, a wretch say then?
To which protector shall I appeal
When even the just man is barely safe?
King of awful majesty
You freely save those worthy of salvation
Save me, fount of pity.
Remember, gentle Jesus
that I am the reason for your time on earth,
do not cast me out on that day.
I groan as one guilty,
My face blushes with guilt
spare the suppliant, O God.
When the damned are confounded
and consigned to keen flames,
call me with the blessed.
O God,
merciful Lord Jesus:
Give them rest.

Spirit of Life

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.

A gentle, building, inspiring setting of Robert Lowry’s beloved hymn, arranged by Daniel Carter. Flute obbligato creates a mood of birds singing with the choir. Gently building to an inspiring ending with a simple descant on the last verse.
My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation,
I hear the sweet, tho’ far-off hymn
That hails a new creation;
Thro’ all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?
What tho’ my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Saviour liveth;
What tho’ the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it,
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am his—
How can I keep from singing?

This heart-touching anthem, with words by John V. Pearson, describes that
supernal moment in Third Nephi when Christ descends to visit the saints at Bountiful following His crucifixion and resurrection saying, “Behold, I am Jesus Christ whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.” The verses describe how he blessed,and healed and taught those who were present. First published as a hymn with music by Janice Kapp Perry, it has now been beautifully enhanced as a choral piece by Ann Kapp Andersen. It would be appropriate for any sacred church gathering, but would be especially meaningful at Easter time.

“In November 1856, pioneers in the Martin handcart company were caught by deep snow and cold weather in the mountains of Wyoming. They had already lost many of their members along the way to cold and disease. Starving and fatigued they met the icy Sweetwater river and felt that they could go no further. Grown men sat on the frozen ground and cried with their wives and children.

My setting of George Gill’s “Beautiful Zion” reflects the exciting and celebratory feelings that happen when one thinks about the millennium or Zion. I also envisioned a nod to those who came before us who sacrificed so much (and went so far) for religious freedom. Overall, the setting would thrive in a light conducting style. The melody is lyrical and free flowing and leaps often giving a sense of exultation. While the first two verses are rather upbeat, the final verse is a climax that peacefully concludes into a restful cadence.

O Thou In Whose Presence
O Thou In Whose Presence – Robert Strobel, arranger
O Thou in Whose Presence came about as a thought that I’d perhaps arrange a work from Southern Harmony. This hymn was attractive, in that it was very much a proto-typical version of the hymn Redeemer of Israel, which appears in the LDS hymnbook. The melody is less ornamented or slightly different in comparison with the later hymn, and to my liking, the version of this text is also is set in first person. This version I have arranged also has some wonderful and unique sentiments that should be resurrected in song and sung for all to hear. Picking the verses I wanted to use, I attempted to paint the pastoral nature of the text in the second verse, and throughout the work I tried to express the idea of affliction melting away into hope.

On Earth and in Heaven
On Earth and in Heaven – Janice Kapp Perry, composer; Ann Kapp Andersen, arranger
The author of this hymn text, John V. Pearson, was a scriptorian who truly delighted in the scriptures and understood that the important things of both this life and the next are recorded both on earth and in heaven. In 3 Nephi 23, Nephi brought forth the records and laid them before the Lord, who asked why they had not recorded the words of Samuel regarding events surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection. Nephi remembered that “this thing had not been written” and Jesus commanded that it should be written.
This hymn would certainly be appropriate at Christmas time. Other verses continue and give a broaderoverview of Christ’s mission, which makes the piece appropriate for Easter worship or for any occasionthat celebrates the life and mission of Jesus Christ. The hymn version of this work, with music by Janice Kapp Perry, won the “Award of Distinction” in the Music Submissions of the LDS Church and had it’s premiere performance at the Music Festival in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. This choral arrangement by Ann Kapp Andersen widens its appeal to Christian choirs everywhere

Now available for SSAA or SATB choir, this is one title you will want to add to your library of special Easter music.
In a garden, dawns the day. Stars that glitter fade away.
Blossoms open, bathed in dew. All the earth awakes anew.
Midst the leaves of olive trees, birds, like seraphs, sweetly sing.
Flowers turn to greet the light; all is calm and all is bright.
Down a path, beneath a hill, lies a cave where all is still.
Near the tomb, now cast aside, rests a stone upon its side.
Angels watch, their vigil keep, where the Lord of all did sleep.
See the cloth that held God’s Son, Jesus the Anointed One.
Aleluia, Aleluia, Jesus the Messiah!
Aleluia, Aleluia, Jesus the Anointed One.
Loving Mary gently weeps. Gone the Father’s precious Sheep.
Empty is her tender heart, hollow as the tomb she sought.
Frankincense and myrrh still cling to the grave that bore a King.
Who shall lead his children on, to the place where he is gone?
“Woman.” Did the gard’ner speak? “Woman, why then dost thou weep?”
“Mary.” ‘Tis the Savior’s voice! Come, ye faithful, and rejoice.
Who shall raise the sons of earth? Christ shall give them second birth.
With the herald angels sing praises to our Lord and King.
Aleluia, Alelu . . . Sing praises to our Lord and King.

One star to light the Christmas way;
a manger filled with straw and hay,
and starlight fell upon His face
as shepherds hastened to the place.
His breath was sweet as April air,
the little baby pure and fair
brought hope and love and peace sublime,
when He was born at Christmas time.
Noel, Noel. Sing we Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
As angels sang above a stall
of peace on earth, good will to all;
God’s little baby fell asleep,
and Mary kissed Him on His cheek.
He slept among the stable beasts,
while wise men journeyed from the East
To honor Him and give Him laud,
the newborn King, the Son of God.
Noel, noel. One star’s light . . . burning bright.

Born is the King of Israel, behold His star!

Where Jesus Walked

Where Jesus Walked
Where Jesus Walked – Kathleen Holyoak, composer
Carma Salvesen’s poem, “If” inspired the writing of this song by Kathleen Holyoak for SATB choir and expresses the desire to walk in the footsteps of Christ in the land of His birth. As we attend the temple, we find ourselves walking in hallowed places and in essence, in the footsteps of our elder brother and Savior. Follow the words by Carma and Kathleen as you listen to this hauntingly beautiful melody:
If I could go to Galilee and walk the paths where Jesus walked
And sit on tender grasses green on the hillside where He taught.
If I could ponder of His plan upon a rock that knew His hand,
Or walk along the seashore where His feet had touched the sand.
My spirit years within me to gently hold His hand.
I’ll never walk where Jesus walked,
I’ll never see the blessed Galilee.
I worship in His holy temple where I know He’s walked before.
Have His feet been down this hallway?
Has His hand ever touched this door?
Has He stood in this very room? Has He looked at what I see?
I close my eyes and picture Him,
the son of God, who died for me.
I do not need to go to Galilee nor to travel far away.
My tender heart is filled with thoughts of Him.
No Galilee, yet my testimony burns within, burns within.
Now I know, I know I’ve walked where Jesus walked!

The Keeper of Galilee (Holyoak, SATB)

The Keeper of Galilee (Holyoak, SATB)
“The Keeper of Galilee,” is a lovely SATB arrangement by composer, Kathleen Holyoak. The beautiful and most descriptive words by Sherry Summers provide listeners with a visual of Galilee, the place where many miracles took place during Christ’s ministry:
The Keeper of Galilee
They traveled the rills and the rolling hills
to the place where the Master would be.
Some journeyed as far as the desert sands
to the shore of the murmuring sea.
The lame man had left his bed and walked;
the blind man from birth now could see!
The people of neighboring villages knew
of the Keeper of Galilee.
His arms opened wide to the whole country side
as He stepped from the old fishing boat.
And then one by one, Father’s beautiful Son
introduced His disciples by name.
He spoke of the precious birds and flow’rs
and how He would take care of me.
My eyes never moved from the billowing robes
of the Keeper of Galilee.
I heard Him speak, He spoke to me
from the banks of the Galilee.
If He could calm a raging storm,
He could certainly do this for me.
The stones and the trees seemed to magnify
the words of this soft-spoken man.
My sorrow released as I wept at the feet
of the Keeper of Galilee.
Right there, near the rock, when He taught I knew
from the moment we met by the sea;
My life would never be the same.
He would carry my burdens for me.
And when the sun cast a silhouette,
five loaves and two fishes would feed
the five thousand hungry who were cared for that night
by the Keeper of Galilee.
My sorrow released, it was left at the feet
of the Keeper of Galilee.
