O Lord of Life,
you bring us beauty,
towering trees and rolling rivers,
and hearts that beat with love for others.
O Come, O Savior Come,
with your grace and glory.
Don Payne Holmstrom
Program Note
O Lord of Life is the fruit of a competition and commission from Lutheran Arts in honor of the historic 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. As recipients of the Baker Family Prize, David Evan Thomas and Rev. Don Holmstrom were tasked with the creation of a congregational hymn and an anthem based thereon. The result was Wherever Christ is Present. The process was adjudicated by Susan Palo Cherwien, Aaron David Miller and Paul Westermeyer. This anthem is an offshoot of Don and David’s collaboration.
