Music and Lyrics by: Cathy Neff
Close your eyes and dream away;
You’ll awake on Christmas Day
With your eyes aglow and fallen snow
When you wake up in the morning.
Angels keep while you sleep.
Choirs sing as you dream.
He is ever near you
To hear you pray.
Sleep, and when you wake
It’s Christmas Day.
Dream about a silent night.
Dream about a holy light,
And the Babe whose birth we’ll celebrate
When you wake up in the morning.
Angels keep while you sleep.
Choirs sing as you dream.
He is ever near you
To hear you pray.
Sleep, and when you wake
It’s Christmas Day.
Dream away! Dream away!
You’ll awake on Christmas Day!
Bells will ring and choirs sing
When you wake up in the morning.
Angels keep their watch around you while you sleep.
Choirs sing as you dream.
Though your eyes can’t see it,
Just believe
When you wake up on Christmas Day.

"The 13th Article of Faith" is one of 13 statements of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as set forth by the prophet, Joseph Smith. This setting can be used for SSA, or solo voice.
Text: Joseph Smith, Jr.
Music: Cathy Neff (ASCAP)
We believe in being honest.
We believe in being true,
Chaste, benevolent and virtuous,
And in doing good to all men.
Indeed we may say,
May say that we follow
The admonition of Paul:
We believe all things.
We hope all things.
We have endured many things,
And hope to be able to endure all things.
*We believe.
Yes, we believe!
We do believe.
If there is anything virtuous,
Lovely or of good report
Or praiseworthy,
We seek after these things.*

A Psalm of Life is a setting of the beloved Longfellow poem of the same name, arranged for SATB choir and piano. The music is taken from the hymn melody by Philip Paul Bliss which is used for the well known hymn favorites, Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy and Should You Feel Inclined to Censure. Cathy Neff's arrangement utilizes a transition into the minor key for the more somber middle verses, which provides for a joyous resolution at the end. An mp3 practice track is available.

(WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN SAID TO THE PSALMIST)
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Music and lyrics: Cathy Neff (ASCAP)
Once in every life some rain is going to fall;
We take the broken pieces and go on.
But there's one who loves us still;
Seek His face and do His will,
And He'll hold us all until we're through the rain.
*After the rain, after the pain,
When you feel like you can finally breathe again,
You will know it's times like these
That make you who you're going to be,
And you'll know that there is sun
After the rain.
Tears may come and go, and years may come and go,
But pieces of a broken heart will mend.
It's a time for you and me
To show just what we do believe;
To hope in Him who sends the earth the rain. *
Some caught in the rain they just get angry.
Some caught in the rain they lose their way.
Look to Him, your bright and shining beacon.
Look to Him and He'll show you the way. *
