Kids Voices Book

Voice Category

Te Adoramos (We Adore You) uses the traditional prayer which is said between the Stations of the Cross. Other uses could include the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, veneration of the cross on Good Friday, during the distribution of Holy Communion and during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This is also available in English through JWPepper and can be combined with that version for bilingual services.

The arrangement is for two part choir but could be done in unison. The organ and cello parts are optional.

Te Adoramos

Two-Part Octavo

All Christians are commissioned by Christ to "go make disciples" (Matthew 28:18-29). This hymn, arranged for a typical church choir of modest size and skill, reminds the faithful to live out the call to baptize and teach Christ's commandments in the way they show love to others. The gentle syncopations of the verse and refrain are contrasted with the repetitive legato bridge which reminds us that Christ is with us always. A reproducible assembly part is included. Useful for services with themes of commissioning, compassion, faith in action, service, discipleship, evangelization, going forth, and forgiveness.

We Go Forth

SAB Choir w/ Worship Leader Octavo

The traditional prayer, "We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you; because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world" has been used for generations in-between stations when praying the Stations of the Cross. Other appropriate liturgical uses of this text would include the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, veneration of the cross on Good Friday and during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. 

Church choirs singing in unison or two parts will learn this simple and reverent setting quickly. The optional cello and organ parts add depth and warmth. A part for the assembly is included as well.

We Adore You

This simple and brief choral prayer asks God to pour out his grace on all who attend the religious gathering. For choirs that serve faith communities, it serves to remind the choir of their mission to lead their communities in prayer and praise. In addition to regular services of worship, this prayer would work well for services of healing, spiritual renewal, reconciliation, and during retreats. Congregations can sing along using the printable assembly part included.

Pour Out Your Grace

Unison/Two-Part Octavo

Come, Holy Spirit of God for 2-part mixed choir or unison voices, piano, and optional flute is a simple folk style sacred choral anthem that asks the Holy Spirit to transform our lives to better model Christ's mission of love towards others and mirror the divine attributes of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control according to the will of God. The piece quotes the Gregorian chant Veni Creator Spiritus. The flute part doubles the harmony for helpful support or to provide interest if the choir chooses to sing in unison.

Appropriate for Pentecost, Confirmation, Baptism.

Come, Holy Spirit of God

We Believe! is a cheerful song for children to sing which proclaims belief in the presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, the mercy and forgiveness of God, the passion and resurrection of Christ, and the power of God to raise us from the dead. This song was written for children to sing at their First Communion but could be sung at times of worship involving children with themes of God's love, reconciliation, Jesus' passion, Easter, and the Eucharist.

Permission is granted to reproduce the lyric song sheet for the purchaser's group.
