Time
Music by Ian Tilley (MCPS) and Fiona Pears (MCPS)
Words by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)
I am the hours and moments of your yesterday
I am your time gone by
All days and ages, fleeting long since passed away
as endless years roll by
I rise in the spark of life, the dawn of all time
I call to the worlds still yet to be
The music is everywhere, in life, in the sea and air
to join in the powerful song of all eternity
I am the hours, the days and moments yet to come
until the end of time
All the centuries and seasons that are still to run
as endless years roll by
Then all of creation rings and all in the heavens sing
their glorious song through all eternity
I am the dawn of all time
Ave Virgo
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
(based on a theme from the Clarinet Concerto)
Arranged by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)

Exsultate
Music by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)
English words by Henry Burton
There’s a light upon the mountains and the day is at the spring
when our eyes shall see the wonder and the glory it will bring
et laudate Domino in laetitia et cantate Domino gloria
saecula et saeculorum Alleluia
Hark, we hear a distant music and it comes with fuller swell
‘tis the glorious song of heaven and our fears it will dispel
Exsultate Domino omnis populi Alleluia
Jubilate Domino omnis terra Alleluia
Angeli et archangeli, psallite et laudate
in hymnis et psalmis et canticis
We hear a distant music – it comes with fuller swell
for the angels here are human, not the shining hosts above
for the drumbeats of the army are the heartbeats of our love
How shall I sing that majesty?
Music by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)
Words by John Mason
How great a being, which doth all beings keep
Thy knowledge the only line to sound so vast a deep
Thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere
Thy time is now and evermore, Thy place is everywhere
How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire?
Let dust in dust and silence lie
Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir
Enlighten with faith my heart, inflame it with love’s fire
then shall I bear a part with that celestial choir

Quae sub his figuris vere latitas
Tibi se cor meum totum subjicit

You hold me in any sorrow Adoro te devote, adoro
See me through every shadow – Salva me
Jesu quem velatum nunc aspicio
You are the words of the song – you are the light Oro fiat illud quod tam sitio
You are the music that plays – you are the voice Ut te revelata cernens facie
You are the day Visu sim beatus tuae gloriae

You are the words of the song in the sunrise O memoriale mortis Domini
You are the music that plays at the dawn O memoriale mortis
You hold me if I were falling
Hear me if I am calling – Salva me Adoro te, devote latens Deitas
Quae sub his figuris vere latitas
Tibi se cor meum totum subjicit
Quia te contemplans totum defecit

Adoro te, adoro

Lead, Kindly Light Touch the Sky
Words by John Henry Newman Words and music by Ben Crawley (MCPS)
Music by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)
Climb a tree to touch the sky
Lead, kindly light amid the encircling gloom through the leaves I watch the birds fly
Lead thou me on in the softly swaying breeze
The night is dark and I am far from home from my nest among the trees
Lead thou me on
So the golden light dances
Keep thou my feet, I do not ask to see the distant scene, through the pattern of branches
one step enough for me all the colours of autumn, alive

O lux aeterna, lead thou me on As the leaves of evening fall

O lux beata, lead, kindly light, lead me on
So long thy power has blest me, sure it still
will lead me on
o’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent ‘til
the night is gone
from my throne above us all
where the faithful blossom flowers
here I while away for hour after hour
Climb a tree to touch the sky

And with the morn those angel faces smile The Fountain
which I have loved long since and lost a while Music by Frédéric Chopin
(based on Prelude in C minor)
The night is dark and I am far from home Arranged by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)

Lead Thou me home and Ben Crawley (MCPS)

Dolorosa, flumenosa, desolata, lacrimabila

Panis Angelicus
Music by César Franck arranged Dolorosa, flumenosa, plorata
by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)
Words trad. The water sighs for me
through teardrops now I see
Panis angelicus, fit panis hominum The streaming water knows
Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum the fountain overflows

O res mirabilis, manducat Dominum To cry for all, to wash all sorrow in waves of peace and love
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis Free my thirsty soul again
O living fountain

Goodnight my angel time to close your eyes Thoughts of love surround you
and save these questions for another day everywhere around you
I think I know what you’ve been asking me May your heart discover all the magic and the wonder
I think you know what I’ve been trying to say inside every moment
I promised I would never leave you deeper than the ocean
and you should always know, wherever you may go, I just want to show you all the beauty and the glory
no matter where you are, I never will be far away
In this clear eternal light, this miracle of light
Goodnight my angel now it’s time to sleep you will never lose your way,
and still so many things I want to say this eternal light will find you and guide you everyday
Remember all the songs you sang for me
when we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean Life is but a journey
I’m rocking you to sleep, the water’s dark and deep inside Tides are always turning
this ancient heart you’ll always be a part of me Seasons come and go here but you’ll never be alone here

Goodnight my angel now it’s time to dream There are times of long and sleepless nights,
and dream how wonderful your life will be but I will bring you peace and hope
Someday your child will cry and if you sing this lullaby, shining like a rainbow
then in your heart there will always be a part of me

Someday we’ll all be gone but lullabyes go on and on, they never die
that’s how you and I will be

Going Home Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Music by Antonin Dvořák arranged by Robert Prizeman (MCPS) Words & music by Ralph Blane & Hugh Martin
based on the Largo from Dvořák’s Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’ Published by EMI United Partnership (MCPS)

Going home, going home Have yourself a merry little Christmas

I am going home let your heart be light
Quiet like, some still day Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
I am going home Have yourself a merry little Christmas
make the Yuletide gay
It's not far, just close by, Next year all our troubles will be miles away
through an open door
Work all done, care laid by Once again as in olden days
never fear no more happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Mother's there expecting me will be near to us once more
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there Someday soon we all will be together
All the friends I knew if the fates allow
Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow
I'm just going home So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

No more fear, no more pain

No more stumbling by the way Silent Night
No more longing for the day Music by Franz Gruber arranged by Robert Prizeman (MCPS)
Going to run no more Words by Josef Mohr

Morning star lights the way Silent night Holy night

Restless dreams all gone All is calm all is bright
Shadows gone, break of day round yon Virgin Mother and child
real life has begun Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
There's no break, there's no end Sleep in heavenly peace
Just a living on
Wide awake, with a smile Silent night Holy night,
going on and on Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Going home, going home Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
I am going home Christ the Saviour is born
shadows gone break of day Christ the Saviour is born
real life has begun
Silent night Holy night
I'm just going home Son of God Love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
