Lift up your eyes to the Morning Star…lay your offering at the feet of the Light of lights and King of kings! Made popular by CCM artist Danny Gokey and arranged for you by uber-programmer Daniel Semsen, this contemporary, snyth-electronic anthem vividly points our way to Bethlehem and the manger where Jesus was born. Lift Up Your Eyes to Jesus…come and see the Saving One and follow Him!

These two anthems are examples of Lauridsen's style in embryo, as it were, for both were written while the composer was just twenty-seven years old. Both anthems evince the contrapuntal mastery that would prove an enduring featureof the composer's technique. The pure and austere lines of I will lift up mine eyes, an a cappella setting of Psalm 121, evoke ancient organum and the imitative devices of Medieval polyphony. Complex chord structures and elaboratecanonic procedures give O come, let us sing unto the Lord a sense of inexorable forward momentum. The coruscating organ part further enhances the prevailing mood of joy that pervades this anthem. --Byron Adams.

The words of Psalm 121 speak of God's saving help. They are carefully reflected in this anthem, which begins and ends peacefully, building to rich exultation in the middle. The violin provides additional melodic and harmonic commentary throughout.
