This arrangement of one of John Ylvisaker's best-loved pieces originated as a five part vocal arrangement which was recorded on The Jay Beech Band Vocal Project CD, released in 1994 by Augsburg Fortress. I later adapted it for choral use and it has been used by numerous denominations throughout the country. Particularly suited and widely used for baptismal days, it can also be used as a general anthem.

A piece for Advent, with the refrain "Oh, Come, Lord, come, here on earth your will be done" which incorporates verse text by Charles Wesley from the hymn Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus. Can be used in general for Advent season, or as a call to worship. Use the optional percussion for a little extra flavor.
