Shiloh Baptist's Senior Choir Sings Offertory Canticle "They That Wait"

In this stirring gospel rendering, Senior Choir Director Thomas Dixon Tyler sings the solo as the Senior Choir departs from its classical repertoire during the 10:55 a.m. service of worship on Sunday June 28, 2009, in Washington, D.C. Mark Francis plays the Hammond organ. Tyler returned to the pipes for the doxology following this offertory selection. At 4 p.m. that afternoon, organist Evelyn Simpson Curenton (not in this video clip) and three of her world-renowned musician children performed in concert at Shiloh, one of the oldest congregations in the Shaw neighborhood near downtown Washington. As usual, the family demonstrated why they deserve their reputation as one of the most talented families in America. The Rev. Wallace Charles Smith, D.Min., is the sixth Senior Minister of the 145-year-old church.

who wrote it

[americanbaptist]

I have no idea; I wish that all churches would print in the program both the writers and the arrangers, the way Friendship Baptist Church in Charlotte and other leading churches did up until the late 1990s. It's ironic that the more education we get as a people, the less information we want in church.

I found it- Rev. James Cleveland
