Forty Days (From Ashes We Came) - Congregational Version (Duplicatable) Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1190932

This newly written hymn for Lent blends solid, studied theology with haunting, Celtic-style melodies and a simple refrain, easy for any congregation or small choir to pick up and start singing immediately. It works well as a song to tie the various weeks of Lenten church services together, as a responsorial song that can fit anywhere in the service that needs a solemn moment of introspection and faith. It also makes a beautiful choral anthem for an Ash Wednesday service or any other time during Lent. Includes duplicatable [up to 500 copies] lyric sheet, lead sheet, and piano/vocal parts separately to best serve congregations.

See the youtube link for an ideal presentation- consider using a soft keyboard pad sound instead of piano for an even more ethereal effect! Also available, by searching "Stacey Plays Hymns" and the song title on this site, are other versions to serve various choirs, music groups, and soloists.

For other formats including large print or higher/lower key 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 up to four church services with under 500 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.
