SATB, piano – (2000) - Kjos #8941 - Communion, General

This is a quiet communion anthem based on the 15th century German hymn by Johann Cruger, Schmücke dich, O liebe Seele, #203 and #224 in the Lutheran Book of Worship. The first verse uses women's voices quietly "oohing" the hymn tune melody over a pastoral piano accompaniment, followed by a second verse with a new text by Susan Cherwien which begins: "Silence, awe, and glad surrender greet this meal of solemn splendor". The first verse can be omitted if you need a shorter anthem for communion distribution.
