I. Christ Is Alive! Let Christians Sing!

Reection *Anthem Peter Haley

The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune

R. Vaughan Williams

1. Choir and Congregation: All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him and rejoice. 2. Choir and Congregation: The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, Without our aid he did us make; We are his folk, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take.

3. Choir: O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do. 4. Choir: For why? the Lord our God is good; His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times rmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

5. Choir and Congregation: To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heaven and earth adore, From men and from the angel host Be praise and glory evermore. Amen. -William Kethe, 16th century

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

arr. Mack Wilberg

My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is his name; In pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream. He brings my wandring spirit back, when I forsake his ways, and leads me for his mercies sake, in paths of truth and grace. When I walk through the shades of death, thy presence is my stay; One word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away. Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overows, thine oil anoints my head. The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; O may thy house be mine abode and all my work be praise! There would I nd a settled rest while others go and come, no more a stranger nor a guest, but like a child at home.
-Isaac Watts, 18th century

III. In Every Insult, Rift, and War

Reection Anthem Peter Haley

Choral Reection on Amazing Grace

Karen Campbell, soprano; Mary Beth Langley, alto

Roger Ames

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see. Through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come. Twas grace that brought us safe thus far, and grace will lead us home.

Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I rst believed! When weve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, Weve no less days to sing Gods praise than when wed rst begun. The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
-John Newton, 18th century

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

arr. Gilbert Martin

When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrice them to his blood.

See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love ow mingled down! Did eer such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love, so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all! Amen!
-Isaac Watts, 18th century
