A Christmas Communion

At the plaintive strains of Silent Night, this sensitively designed anthem of reflection rises like a prayer to call the church to the grace of God's table. Surrounded by tender music, this song delivers the contemplative nature of the text. As the final verse issues a challenge for us to take the gift to the world, an effective crescendo raises the call before allowing the anthem to end in peaceful calm as it began. Violin (or C-instrument) part included.
