Think of a scene with shepherds from the “hills” of Bethlehem in ancient times as you play this song.
Try to capture a sad yet hopeful feeling of a person who is waiting to be delivered from hard times. Just as in ancient times when people waited for the Savior, individuals are struggling to survive today and hoping for something or someone to help them. This is a song of hope for deliverance from difficult times.

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

This beautiful SATB setting by lyricist, Sherry Summers and composer, Kathleen Holyoak, conveys the excitement and joy surrounding Christmas Day! It is one of rejoicing, commitment and praise to God, our Father, and the gift of His Son.
On This Christmas Morning
Joyously the choir sings,

A chorus of angels joining in,
on this Christmas morning.
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Praise to our Father, Elohim.
Ringing chords in tune for Him,
on this Christmas morning.
Holy child of royal birth,
the Savior’s come, He’s come to earth!
He left His heavenly home for awhile;
of Him we extol and testify!
What are blessings He shall bring?
Grace and mercy, love without end.
May we raise a voice to Him,
on this Christmas morning.
What are the truths He shall bring?
Seek Him in the simplest things!
Let’s keep our promises to Him,
on this Christmas morning.
Holy child of royal birth,
the Savior’s come, He’s come to earth!
He left His heavenly home for awhile;
of Him we extol and testify!
Frankincense, gold and myrrh
were gifts for Him from travel’rs afar.
I give my heart, mind and strength,
on this Christmas morning.
Bethlehem brought forth my King,
Master giver of everything.
Let us give glory back to Him,
On this Christmas, joyous Christmas,
On this Christmas, Christmas morn!

For this hymn we envisioned a bird’s eye view of the earth shortly before the birth of Jesus Christ. As the whirling lines of the violins come together and pull apart throughout this arrangement, we wanted to represent a feeling of excitement and anticipation in the heavens and on the earth before this defining moment in our world’s history. We imagine soaring down from the heavens, and across the holy land as the event draws closer. At the finish we are left with a startlingly peaceful scene of a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

A tribute to the early pioneers by composer Wayne Burton. Specific reference to a heroic rescue and answer to prayer during a despirate winter segment of their journey. They video uses this account:
“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.

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.
Noel, noel! Noel, noel! Born is the King.
Born is the King of Israel, behold His star!

Including this piece was another suggestion from someone very dear to us. There is no other composer that has influenced the history of music more that Johann Sebastian Bach. We feel that Bach’s works are so inspired that they transcend time, and the instruments that they are written for. We are so happy to present this familiar piece from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier on the violin and viola. In it, we feel that Bach shares a lifetime of wisdom in less than three minutes.

Safe Within His Keep
Safe Within His Keep, an award winning song writtenfor SATB or SSAA choir with piano accompaniment by Kathleen Holyoak, has a special message suitable for any worship service. The words beautifully express that we are all lambs of our constant, loving Savior and Shepherd and that He will never fail or forget us as He gently leads us back to our heavenly home. Words by Kathleen Holyoak and Gary Croxall are as follows:
Little lambs who roam far beyond the glen,
Christ will lead you gently home, trust that He’s your friend.
Through the darkest storm, o’er the torrent deep,
Let Him carry you in His arms safe within His keep.
Little lambs who stray, quickly falls the night.
See, the Shepherd points the way, follow in His light.
Listen to His voice. Trust the Master’s care;
Ever near your side, He will guide to meadows bright and fair.
Christ would give His life for one lamb.
He calls each one by name.
He will not abandon you, for none are lost to Him.
Let your heart by still and follow Him.
Little lambs, return to the Shepherds path.
Feed in pastures verdant green, guarded by His staff.
Turn and seek Him now. Feel His quiet peace
As He carries you in His arms, safely, safe within His keep.

This is one of the all time classic Christmas songs. It was first performed with a guitar accompaniment in the Church of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, Austria on December 24, 1818. The text was written by priest Father Joseph Mohr and the melody was composed by Franz Gruber.
The song was also sung simultaneously in French, English and German by troops during the Christmas truce of 1914, a song that soldiers on both sides of the front line knew.
It’s interesting how music has the ability to bring different cultures together and break down barriers of misunderstanding that in some cases have existed over long periods of time.

Son of the Highest
Son of the Highest for SATB Choir with violin obbligato
Son of the Highest, for SATB choir with violin obbligato by Kathleen Holyoak, is a wonderful choice for any Christmas service. It presents a fresh approach to the Virgin Mary’s experience when the angel, Gabriel, delivered the message that she was chosen by God to give birth to His Son. Mary, overwhelmed and realizing she was fore-ordained to be the Mother of Jesus, humbly accepted the great responsibility, having faith that she and Joseph would raise the Son of God.
The song begins with a gentle, rocking melody and builds to a powerful refrain and exciting ending. Follow the words as you listen:
To Mary, blessed Mary, favored of the Lord,
Came an angel on errand as prophets had foretold.
Mary in tears fell to her knees.
Who would believe her in all of Galilee?
He said she’d conceive and bear a special Son.
His name would be Jesus, the Father’s chosen One.
How could this be for a virgin was she?
The angel assured that with God, nothing is impossible.
He shall be called, Son of the Highest, Alleluia!
The Father shall give Him throne
And He shall reign. Alleluia!
Glory be to Jesus, the Messiah, the Holy One.
And what of dear Joseph, so loyal and true?
The Spirit bore witness he’d know his calling too;
To be not afraid but fully believe
With calm reassurance they’d raise the Son of God.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Jesus Christ shall reign over the House of David
And of His kingdom there shall be, shall be no end.
Praise the Son of God. Alleluia!
Full of grace and truth.
The Savior, the Redeemer,
And the Only Begotten Son.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

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.

When I reach to help another,

Settle gently in my heart.

I help wipe away each care,
As I bend to lift another
From despair, from despair.
Take my hand, take my hand,
I will lift you come what may.
With faith the Lord, our loving Lord,
With faith that He will always show the way.
We are sent to render comfort and to
Pray for those who mourn,
And bring the gospel radiance
To each friend who is forlorn;
To lift them in their weakness
With help from heav’n above,
And walk with them and talk with them
Until they feel God’s love.
When I see a person suff’ring
From a loss or from a need,
When a neighbor seeks my comfort
And I hasten to pay heed.
Then the Holy Spirit guides me,
Shedding light along the way,
As I’m reaching out to others
Day by day, day by day.
Take my hand, take my hand,
I will keep you come what may.
Come walk with me until you see
Our Savior’s arms are always open wide.
Take my hand, take my hand.

The Garden Tomb (SATB – Holyoak)
The Garden Tomb, Kathleen Holyoak
The Garden Tomb, is a lovely new song for Easter by Kathleen Holyoak and lyricist, Gary Croxall. Tender lyrics most beautifully echo the Savior’s birth in Bethlehem, recounting His resurrection and build to a triumphant finale. 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.
Aleluia, Aleluia. Sing . . .praises to our Lord and King, Our King!

The Gift

The Gift
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.

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.
