Easy Choir Hymn Anthems

I believe that church music does not have to be difficult to be effective. Many of my compositions are written for churches that have limited resources.
Below are two free choir anthems based on hymn tunes by famous composers.

"How Wondrous and Great"  SATB with piano or organ. Based on the hymn tyne LYONS attributed to Joseph Michael Haydn.
