Child in a Manger
Words by Sally DeFord; Music by Katherine Wright. This lullaby is my Christmas Card Carol for 2021.
Peace, Peace, Be Still
He who made the rising storm can bid its fury fail.
A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief/Have I Done Any Good?
These two hymns started singing together in my head one day, and they haven’t stopped since; I can’t hear one without thinking of the other. 🙂
There Was No Room
Is there room in my heart, or is every chamber full?
Holy Is the Lord
The Lord is “the light which shineth in the darkness.”
My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me
Words by William C. Martin (1864-1914), adapted; Music by Sally DeFord
City of David
My Christmas Card Carol for 2019
A Carol to the King
There are many songs with this title or something similar, so I figured I might as well add to the number. 🙂
Holy Places
A hymn that took us a long time to write. Some things just have to simmer for awhile.
The Shepherd and the Lamb
A little lamb went wandering…
Rock of Ages
For some reason, the 3/4 time always made me feel like the traditional music just didn’t give the words the weight they deserved. So this arrangement got the 4/4 treatment.
Will You Come to the Manger?
My 2018 Christmas card carol.
O Little Town of Bethlehem
A very simple SATB or Solo arrangement of the familiar hymn.
He Loves His Little Ones
A very simple song, about a very basic concept… and one of the more challenging things I’ve written.
With All My Heart
“O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength…”
