Description
Fedak's beautiful hymn tune NEW DISCIPLES is paired with a new communion text by Richard Leach celebrating "wonder, love, and praise." Each stanza begins with a upwardly-moving lyric melody that turns into a triple-meter dance at the refrain.

Review
"This pairing of Alfred V. Fedak's tune, NEW DISCIPLES, and Richard Leach's hymn linking Psalm 8 with communion imagery is lyrical and simple, just the right combination for a small choir to sing for a summertime celebration of the Lord's Supper. The two stanzas are in 3/4 meter that expresses first the wonder felt by the psalmist as she looked up at the stars, and second the mystery of Christ's body and blood being represented by bread and wine. Each stanza is followed by a refrain in 6/8 that dances the music of our response of faith." --Worship Arts, March-April 2009
