Written by Russell Kelso Carter during a time of personal health crisis, Standing on the Promises reflects his renewed faith following what he believed was a miraculous healing. This uplifting arrangement opens with tenors and basses in unison, followed by a verse featuring sopranos and altos. A third verse in four-part harmony leads into a powerful final stanza, highlighted by an optional soprano descant, and builds steadily to an energetic, confident finish.

Stars Were Gleaming (Infant Holy, Infant Lowly)

  writing is rich and full, and best suited for larger choral ensembles.

Now Let Us Rejoice

In that dark night he was inspired to write new words of joy and testimony, which later became the beloved Spanish hymn "Placentero nos es trabajar." Using the tune "Sweet By and By," this English translation begins tenderly with women’s voices, followed by a verse for the men, and rises to a stirring conclusion for full choir before closing in quiet simplicity—a moving expression of service, love, and devotion.
