THE CHRISTIAN LIFE HYMNAL

For Every Tradition. For Every Generation

I have written several service music settings which we use at my church. The setting of the Lord's Prayer, “Our Father in Heaven,” is gaining acceptance in many churches, and is used in the chapel services at the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies. My setting of Agnus Dei, “Lamb of God,” was recorded on the project "THE CHRIST: His Passion - Remembering the Sacrifice" on Essential Records and is sung by Bebo Norman and members of the band Casting Crowns. These scores are available at no cost as downloads at www.sibeliusmusic.ericwyse.com

My hymn tune settings of "At the Name of Jesus" (tune: BELLE RIVE) and "When Jesus Died to Save Us" (tune: CEDAR LANE) are included in the recently published hymnal from the National Associate of Congregational Christian Churches/GIA, Hymns for a Pilgrim People: A Congregational Hymnal. Also included in this hymnal is my setting of the Gloria Patri, "Glory to the Father," and "Wonderful, Merciful Savior".
