Near the River

Richly rewarding, this inspiring anthem creatively pairs the traditional spiritual Peace Like a River with the beloved hymn Jesus, keep Me Near the Cross. Gently flowing accompaniment pulses under solid choral writing, predominated by unison and 2-part vocal textures. Easily prepared in two voicings for choirs large and small, it is apprpriate for worship throughout the year, especially baptism, communion, holy week and peace services. Opt. C-Instrument part included in the score.
