Exultate justi Ludovico Grossi da Viadana
Exultate, justi, in Domino;
rectos decet collaudatio.
Confitemini Domino in cithara;
in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.
Cantate ei canticum novum;
bene psallite ei in vociferatione.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just;
praise befits the upright.
Give praise to the Lord on the harp;
sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
Sing to him a new canticle,
sing well unto him with a loud noise.
Psalm 33: 1-3
Domine ad adjuvandum me festina Il Padre G. B. Martini
Domine ad adjuvandum me festina.
Gloria Patri, et Filio,
Et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
Et nunc, et semper,
Et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Alleluia.
Lord make haste to save me
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be the the Father, and to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
And now, and forever,
And world without end.
Amen.
Alleluia.
Psalm 70:1
Die Nachtigall Felix Mendelssohn
Die Nachtigall, sie war entfernt
der Frühling lockt sie wieder;
was neues hat sie nicht gelernt,
singt alte liebe Lieder.
The Nightingale
The nightingale had gone afar;
Spring summons her back.
She has learned nothing new;
She sings the old beloved songs.
Ubi caritas Maurice Duruflé
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. Amen.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ’s love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other
with a sincere heart. Amen.
I Will Arise arr. Alice Parker and Robert Shaw
I will arise and go to Jesus. He will embrace me in his arms.
In the arms of my dear Savior, Oh! there are ten thousand charms.
Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount. I’m fixed upon it, Mount of thy redeeming love.
Come, thou fount of every blessing. Tune my heart to sing thy grace.
Streams of mercy never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise.
I will arise and go to Jesus. He will embrace me in his arms.
In the arms of my dear Savior, Oh! there are ten thousand charms.
Wondrous Love arr. Alice Parker and Robert Shaw
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down, sinking down
when I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb, I will sing
to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM
while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing
while millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and through eternity I’ll sing on.
On The Common Ground Alice Parker
(Call and Response)
Help me, Lord. Help me find the common ground, yes, the common ground.
Help me find the common ground between the high and the low, Between the poor and the rich, Between the old and the young, Between the black and the white.
Help me find the common ground between the shouting and the silence, Between the bound and the free, Between the grief and the joy, Between the heart and the mind.
Help me Lord. Open us, Lord.
Lord, guide us to that meeting place where we can see each other, Hear each other, care for each other. Where we can sing together, work together, We can play together on the common ground.
Help me Lord, Open us, Lord. Come, let us meet together on the common ground.

In The Valley Matt Podd
‘Tis a gift to be simple. ‘Tis a gift to be free.
‘Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be.
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
We’ll be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend we will not be ashamed.
Heaven Somewhere Stephen Hatfield
Up above my head, got my angel in the air
Yes, I really do believe there is a heaven somewhere.
Up above my head, I see glory in the air
Yes, I really do believe there is a heaven somewhere.
Up above my head, I hear music in the air
And I really do believe there is a heaven somewhere.
(You better run, run to the City)
Up above my head, I see trouble in the air
And I really do believe there is a heaven somewhere.
Song For The Mira Allister MacGillivray
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
Old men go fishing with black line and spoons,
And if they catch nothing they never complain,
And I wish I was with them again
As boys in the boats call to girls on the shore,
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore
And into the evening the courting begins,
And I wish I was with them again
cho: Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and Kings
I’ll trade you ten of your cities For Marion Bridge
And the pleasure it brings
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze to the children’s delight
They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends,
And I wish I was with them again.
And over the ashes the stories are told
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold.
Stars on the riverface sparkle and spin.
I wish I was with them again
Out on the Mira, the people are kind –
They’ll treat you to homebrew, and help you unwind.
And if you come broken they’ll see that you mend
I wish I was with them again
Now I’ll conclude with a wish you go well.
Sweet be your dreams, and your happiness swell.
I’ll leave you here for my journey begins,
I’m going to be with them again.
Ah, Holy Jesus Robert T. Petrich
1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended,
that we to judge thee have in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by thine own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee!
‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee;
I crucified thee.
5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee,
I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee,
think on thy pity and thy love unswerving,
not my deserving.
Choose Something Like A Star Randall Thompson
O Star
The fairest one in sight
O Star
We grant your loftiness the right
O Star
To some obscurity of cloud
O Star
It will not do to say of night,
O Star
Since dark is what brings out your light.
O Star…
Some mystery becomes the proud.
But to be wholly taciturn
In your reserve is not allowed.
Say something to us we can learn
By heart and when alone repeat.
Say something! And it says ‘I burn.’
But say with what degree of heat.
Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade.
Use language we can comprehend.
Tell us what elements you blend.
It gives us strangely little aid,
But does tell something in the end.
O Star
And steadfast as Keats’ Eremite,
Not even stooping from its sphere,
It asks a little of us here.
It asks of us a certain height,
So when at times the mob is swayed
To carry praise or blame too far,
We may choose something like a star
To stay our minds on and be staid.
Bridge Over Troubled Waters Paul Simon
When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine (See how they shine)
If you need a friend (If you need a friend)
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind.
