Still

Don't let the simple, lullaby-like nature of the musical setting fool you. The richness of this Christmastime text gives this beautiful and prayerful anthem a worthy place in your choral library. The anthem reflects on Christ's humble human birth through the lens of his eventual passion and death and looks forward to the final salvation of the second coming. Rooted in how we experience the love of God in our modern world, the phrase "Come amongst us and guide us into peace" is particularly timely. Piano and guitar accompaniment, with instrumental parts for optional flute and cello.
