It was one of those accidents where you find something useful when you’re looking for something else. While reading on the nature of worship, a particular blog article ended with Adoniram Judson’s early 19th Century baptismal poem, Come Holy Spirit, Dove Divine. The flowing text called out (at least to me!) for a musical setting. Accordingly, some melodic and harmonic ideas began to percolate in my thoughts. However, before getting very far along in writing a tune, there were two surprises in store. First many others had already set the text to music before (with a multitude of tunes) going back to at least 1833. Second, despite being a Baptist for over forty years, I discovered that this hymn has been in the Baptist Hymnal since 1956 yet I have no recollection of every singing it! Well, chagrined at my ignorance, I carried on writing a new melody and harmony for this deserving text. I sought to make it friendly to congregational singers while still containing rich and sing-able harmonies and so aimed for a four-part hymn-style form. However, as I suspect my ignorance of the hymn is a common condition, a fresh and modern tune which would be at home in varied musical styles and have popular appeal was also pursued. The result is a delightful and uplifting tune, easy to sing, with an optimistic and forward momentum, commensurate with the meaning of believers’ baptism, Buried with Him in baptism; raised to walk in new life. The music is flexible in application to many church music styles: praise team and band, choir and organ, congregation and piano, or mix and match to fit your needs. May you find Come, Holy Spirit, Dove Divine, singing a much needed text, a means for your congregation to joyfully join with new believers in celebration of their baptism!

By Stacey Plays Hymns. By Silesian Folk Tune / Lyric Writer Unknown. Arranged by Anastace. Christian,Praise & Worship,Religious,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 11 pages. Anastace #984147. Published by Anastace (A0.1400951).

Here is the full piano vocal version of Beautiful Saviour, as heard on my YouTube channel with all the other classic, beautiful hymns. This arrangement works really well either for a beautiful solo during a church service or even as a full congregational accompaniment version. If playing for a congregation you may wish to skip the repeated line at the end for a more traditional feel, but the flowing, rich piano chords will support any singing in a really lovely, tasteful way. The file includes the complete score, as well as piano and vocal separately for your printing convenience - it will save a few pages on everyone's music stand or piano!

This version is in the same key as the original recording and has a vocal range of A3-C5 for a moderately low voice. 
Also available, by searching Stacey Plays Hymns and the song title on this site, are the following versions:

Piano Vocal in C Major - Easier to play and the vocal range is a bit higher for a comfortable regular voice [range of B3-D5]
Piano Vocal in E Flat Major - matches most hymnals, and works for very high or low voices, with a range of D4-F5 [or D3-F4, if sung down an octave]

For other formats including large print, or extended choral harmony versions, please write me at staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll be glad to make them especially for you. Purchase includes a free license for one church service with under 300 people, with proper attribution and credit in any printed or online materials. For a license to use this work on a larger scale, please contact me for permission and other usage details including lyrics formatted for printing in church bulletins or for powerpoint. Please let me know if there is any other way I can serve you as a congregation or fellow music/choir director as I endeavour to write several new choral anthems per year, along with my other recording work.

Lent & Easter Musical
This poignant 35-minute Tenebrae Service is designed to recreate the emotional and spiritual aspects of the Passion Story through music. Both traditional and contemporary hymns and songs are combined with congregational singing, scripture reading, and narration to paint a vivid and moving picture of Christ's last days and his journey to the cross. Included are instructions for lighting and extinguishing candles throughout the service, creating a dramatic Good Friday effect so that, by the end, the congregation is in total darkness. Performance may be done simply with choir, piano and narration, or may be enhanced with the instrumental parts, which include a Conductor's Score and parts for 2 violins, cello, flute, clarinet and string reduction for organ or synthesizer.

By Stacey Plays Hymns. By Stacey Plays Hymns. Arranged by Anastace. Advent,Christian,Christmas,Religious,Sacred. Score. 4 pages. Anastace #1079566. Published by Anastace (A0.1504111).

Here is a beautiful, simple advent song I wrote to serve churches through the season of Advent, particularly during the candle lighting portion of each Sunday the weeks leading up to Christmas. This piano solo version is perfect to use as a prelude or postlude to any Advent service or Christmas week service, particularly if the vocal version is already being used by the congregational as a piece of the liturgy. There are recordings available for each of the weeks of Advent and this piano solo as well on all streaming platforms as of November 1, 2024, in case that is helpful to your service preparation or while learning the song. There is also an instrumental track entitled Fill Our Hearts, which is musically cohesive to the main song and is a great song to stream after service, to keep the mood matching and inspire the congregation to leave singing the melody, Let Your love fill our hearts, Jesus, Light of the world.

This piano solo is easy yet flowing, with beautiful dynamic contrast and a lilting, hopeful 6/8 feel. Also available, by searching Stacey Plays Hymns and the song title on this site, is a full piano vocal accompaniment version and a lead sheet version for those who play guitar or piano based on chords.

Purchase includes a free license for four church services with under 300 people, with proper attribution and credit to Stacey Plays Hymns in any printed or online materials.

Composed by Austin C Lovelace. Advent, Palm Sunday. With Unison, Congregation. Sacred Anthem. Octavo. 8 pages. Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGA198. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGA198).

UPC: 749193004128.

Here we have a practical setting of the familiar hymn tune TRURO that combines children's and adult choirs. The text is based on Psalm 24 and is equally suitable for use during the Advent season or on Palm Sunday when nearly all children's choirs participate in the worship service. Further, it is written so that all ages of choirs could participate. The hymn tune is punctuated by the powerful dialogue from the Psalm: 'Who is the King of Glory' The Lord of hosts, He is the King of Glory!' This ties very well the Psalm ideas to Weissel's paraphrase, and then the closing stanza concludes with a personal response EUR to open the portals of one's heart. Another feature of the anthem s that the entire congregation can join in the singing at the appropriate places by either singing directly from the hymnal or by printing the words in a bulletin (permission is granted). The work can, of course, be used as an anthem, or as an elaborated congregational hymn in addition to another 'anthem' for the day.
