05-105 Crux fidelis satb:handbells

SATB setting for Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum - Almeda Berkey, Music Director
Original Treble Choir work commissioned by Dr. Jerome Wright and the Seattle Girls' Choir
Crux fidelis
Crux fidelis, inter omnes arbor una nobilis:
Nulla silva talem profert, fronde, flore, germine:
Dulce lignum, dulces clavos, dulce pondus sustinet.
Faithful Cross, above all other, one and only noble tree:
None in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit thy peer may be:
Sweetest wood, and sweetest iron; sweetest weight is hung on thee.
