No.418 March - Heavenly Treasures (Noel Jones)
Rich people cannot take money with them when they die but Christians have the joy of laying up treasure in Heaven. This march by Noel Jones incorporates two choruses 'Lay up treasure in Heaven' (TBCS 249)
and 'Bright Crowns' (TB 78).
No.419 Swing it, Shepherds! (Nicholas King)
The traditional English Carol, 'While shepherds watched' and the spiritual carol 'Rise up, shepherd!' are combined in a bright swing arrangement by Deputy Songsters Leader Nicholas King, who is also a member of the Music Ministries Unit.
No.420 Good King Wenceslas (Paul Sharman)
The lyrics of the well-known carol 'Good King Wenceslas' were written by John Mason Neale in the 1850s and the tune used comes from a collection of medieval Latin songs, Piae Cantiones, published in 1582. It has been given a light-hearted treatment, which also features brief references to other carols.
No.421 As we are gathered (Trevor Worthington)
An arrangement of John Daniels' lovely song, the words of which say:
As we are gathered, Jesus is here;
One with each other, Jesus is here;
Joined by the Spirit, washed in the blood,
Part of the Body, the Church of God.
As we are gathered, Jesus is here;
One with each other, Jesus is here.
