Come, Follow Me! Organ score Come, Follow Me! Come, Follow Me! Come, Follow Me! Come, Follow Me! Choral Excerpts also available: Come, Follow Me! Dynamic and powerful, this excerpt from the Easter Celebration, Come, Follow Me! offers a wonderful challenge to singers and instrumentalists alike. It’s multi-rhythmic structure highlights and strengthens the powerful language of its text: “Take up thy cross, take up thy cross and follow me, follow Christ the Lord!” It also features the calling of the Apostles with shouts of the twelve names emanating from the choir. Gently, Gently “And the people brought young children to Jesus for the touch of His precious hand.” This narrative from Come, Follow Me! serves as the catalyst for this beautiful, lilting lullaby. Uncomplicated in its vocal structure, Gently, Gently offers lyrical, memorable melodic choral lines and features an alto solo midway in the piece. The text also is suitable for a Children’s Day presentation: “Gently, He reached out to them. Tenderly, He called them to Him. Gently, He touched them in his way. Bring them to Me. Don’t turn them away. Suffer the little children to come to Me. Let the children come to Me; of such is the Kingdom of God, my Father.” |
