My new anthem for Lent/Holy Week/Communion, “Deep Were His Wounds,” has received an Editors’ Choice award from J.W.Pepper. The piece is scored for SAB with piano, on a William Johnson text that alludes to Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2:22-25.
“But they, whom sin has wounded sore, find healing in the wounds he bore.” William Johnson’s penetrating hymn was written in 1953 and is deeply expressed with new music by composer Tim Shaw. Rich scoring, expressive melodies and a supportive piano accompaniment allow for the best results with your SAB choir. Appropriate for Holy Week, communion, confession or any reflective moment during your worship service.
