Product Description

A musical setting to Carl Sandburg's 1918 poem "Prayers of Steel" for SATB choir. A short and powerful anthem, seeking to be an agent for change and growth. Ideally performed without accompaniment, piano reduction included.

"Lay me on an anvil, O God.
Beat me and hammer me into a crowbar.
Let me pry loose old walls.
Let me lift and loosen old foundations.

Lay me on an anvil, O God.
Beat me and hammer me into a steel spike.
Drive me into the girders that hold a skyscraper together.
Take red-hot rivets and fasten me into the central girders.
Let me be the great nail holding a skyscraper through blue nights into white stars."
