He Walked Alone So We Must Not

Here is a piece that is perfect for Easter-time. The words were written by Michael Young. A very sweet contemplative hymn which would also work for a theme of the Atonement.

He walked alone so we must not, along the road with peril fraught. 
Descending to the darkest vale, the curse of mortals to assail. 

A lonely road all choked with thorns, that thick upon His brow adorn. 
Weighed down by burdens stark and grave, great drops of blood as sweat He gave. 

There was no one to walk beside as He faced that grim eventide. 
But glory to our God ascribe, He bore more than we can describe. 

Tell of His grace, lest we forget, the vastness of forgiven debt 
that ransoms ev'ry mortal child, and brings them home, cleansed, reconciled. 

The Blessed Name of Mother

A short but sweet a cappella piece for TTBB on Mother's Day. The Tenor (lead) goes quite high, so it is not for the faint of heart. :)

The holiest words my tongue can frame, 
the nobles thoughts my soul can claim, 
unworthy are to praise the name 
more precious than all other. 

An infant, when her love first came, 
a man, I find it still the same, 
rev'rently I breathe her name, 
the blessed name of mother. 

E'en so Lord Jesus, Quickly Come
