Description
A hauntingly beautiful collaboration between modern hymnwriter Erik Dewar and Dan Forrest, this anthem for SATB voices (with piano and optional strings) weaves together a newly written hymn with "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" (KINGSFOLD). A powerful experience for both general worship and Lent.
Composer Note
"I first heard Erik Dewar’s hymn Come Find His Rest when I was at College Church Wheaton (where Erik serves as worship director) for a weekend with their choir. As I walked in on Sunday morning, the choir was rehearsing the hymn version; I sat in a pew in the otherwise-empty sanctuary and found myself deeply moved as its text and melody washed over me.
I was supposed to be the guest providing beautiful music that weekend, but Erik’s hymn moved my spirit just as much, and it was a joy to collaborate with him on a choral anthem setting a few months later."
