Called to the Water

SATB Octavo

Editors Choice Year

Hal Leonard Corporation

This unique anthem begins slowly with a quote from Wade in the Water, optionally sung as a solo, which lays the framework for a jazzy appeal to renewal and commitment. An original melody with a swing feel is contrasted with a legato section before pairing with a return of the traditional spiritual. "Follow your dream to the living stream. Wade on in, live again."

Wade in the Living Water

SAB Octavo

Hope Publishing Company

This ceremony for baptism or infant dedication includes opening music for the choir, an optional spoken liturgy with piano underscore, and closing music for the choir with the prayer, "We thank you, Lord, for children; help us teach them what we know as they live, and dream, and grow."

In the Simple, In the Small

MorningStar Music Publishers

This setting of the African American spiritual is varied and creative, with vocal percussion and a chill but supportive piano part.

Take Me to the Water

For baptism and dedication services, this anthem is part prayer and part blessing. Easily prepared, its thoughtful text asks for God's guidance as the child goes through life. The optional flute obbligato adds a pastoral note.

Take This Child into Your Keeping

Down in the River to Pray

Augsburg Publishing

The traditional baptismal blessing adapted from Isaiah 11:2 is set here in a sweet, gentle motet appropriate for baptisms, services of confirmation, affirmation of baptism, the season of Advent, or as a general benediction.

The Spirit of the Lord

"Through the joy, through the tears, the journey of these years may you trust in Him till the end."  A mother's tender prayer is whispered as she holds her own child in this serene choral anthem.  With piano and violin accompanying, it provides a time of reflection and a touch of wonder during family services with your church congregation.

A Mother's Prayer

Paraclete Press

We Receive You

Con Spirito Music

Based on a medieval English text, "When Jesus Christ Baptised Was" is quick to rehearse (mostly unison) and easy to sing  ideal for small choirs and for use in commemorations of Jesus' baptism or any baptism. The refrain, "Tu es Filius meus; mihi complacet" translates as the words from the Father heard at Jesus' baptism: "You are my Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

When Jesus Christ Baptised Was

SAB Full Score

"I was there to hear your borning cry, I'll be there when you are old." Here is a quiet song of assurance for God's gentle leading in a person's life - even before a child is aware that God is there. A lyric gem for two-part mixed voices, it includes a whisper of Jesus Loves Me and a haunting solo on soprano saxophone, which can be played by any other C instrument. A fine choice for Baptisms or Home and Family Sundays.

Borning Cry

GIA Publications

The first half of the refrain of this song for Baptism is in a quasi-call-and-response format. The Alleluias that are interjected throughout the cantor's verses are derived from the second half of the refrain. The result is a beautifully flowing composition that will be quickly learned by your choir and congregation.

I Saw Water Flowing

E.C. Schirmer Music Co.

This gentle, lyrical anthem opens with an a cappella soprano solo that blossoms into a hymn-like setting for mixed choirs. Suitable for a baptismal service, either as an immediate response or elsewhere in the service. An original text is enveloped with gorgeous choral harmonies in a tender setting that is both emotive and useful.

With This Water

Set in the style of a gospel waltz, this anthem celebrates the many ministries associated with water. Approachable harmonies combine effectively with moments of unison while a supportive piano part contributes to the easy feel. The optional violin part adds a nice touch to this well-written selection.

Into the Waters

Beckenhorst Press

Give your children's choir an opportunity to participate in this tender anthem that quotes the traditional Swedish tune TRUGGARE KAN INGEN VARA. Perfect for baptism or first communion, it opens with a passing reference to Children of the Heavenly Father. It is scored for SATB voices with optional unison children's choir or solo and piano with violin or flute obbligato.
