Composed by Elizabeth Alexander. Choral score. Duration 3 minutes. Published by Seafarer Press (SF.SEA-021-01).

Text: Richard Fewkes.

Richard Fewkes' prayer of thanksgiving rings simple and true, from its very first words: "For the sun and the dawn, which we did not create, we lift up our hearts in thanks." This lyrical setting offers the children's choir a gracious stand-alone melody, with a well-crafted descant for the adults. Appropriate for intergenerational or combined choirs, in any interfaith setting, at any time of year.

If desired, the adults and children may learn their parts separately, joining together in one final rehearsal.
