All Things New
for SATB Chorus & Piano
Published by Beckenhorst Press
Known for her exquisite lyricism and soaring melodies, Elaine Hagenberg delivers an exceptional original setting of Frances Havergal's text that provides a much-needed message of hope. A shimmering accompaniment and easily learned vocal lines open this up to choirs of all sizes for concert or service use.
Light after darkness,
gain after loss,
Strength after weakness,
crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter,
hope after fears,
Home after wandering,
praise after tears.
Alpha and Omega,
beginning and the end,
He is making all things new.
Springs of living water
shall wash away each tear,
He is making all things new.
Sight after mystery,
sun after rain,
Joy after sorrow,
peace after pain;
Near after distant,
gleam after gloom,
Love after loneliness,
life after tomb.
