SATB with Piano
4’20”
Shelter This Candle
“Humanity is up against a great deal of adversity in these times. Shelter this Candle is a reminder that we are at our best when we are united, not divided. This SATB work is achievable by young choirs, but deep enough to be sung by more advanced choirs of all ages. “
“Shelter this candle from the wind.
Hold it steady. In its light
The cave wherein we wander lost
Glitters with frosty stalactite,
Blossoms with mineral rose and lotus,
Sparkles with crystal moon and star,
Till a man would rather be lost than found:
We have forgotten where we are.
We are the light that shines in the heart of night.
Threading the darkness, filling the earth.
The light of love.
I love thee, I love but thee with a love that shall not die.
Till the sun grows cold and the moon grows old.”
