O Come, Thou Sweet Redeeming Fire - Daniel Gawthrop
Copyright 1996 by Dunstan House. Used by permission.

O come, thou sweet redeeming fire,
O light of truth, resplendent love.
Spark in earthly clay thy pow’r
over death to life divine.
Washed now of sin, reborn to glory;
Seal in holy fire Thy promises.
Born of flesh, Thy blood atoning,
Lamb of God, Our risen Lord.
Grace confirm us, peace attend us.
Come thou, Holy Spirit, come.

Glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
Only begotten Son and Word of God,
immortal, who for our salvation willed to be
incarnate of the Holy Theotokos and ever Virgin Mary;
Who without change became man and were crucified,
O Christ, God, trampling down death by death,
as one of the Holy Trinity,
You are glorified with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Save us, O save us.

Gentle Words - Shaker song, arranged by Kevin Siegfried

Refrain:
What the dew is to the flower,
gentle words are to the soul,
and a blessing to the giver,
and so dear to the receiver,
we should never withhold.

Gentle words kindly spoken
often soothe the troubled mind,
while links of love are broken
by words that are unkind.

Then O, thou gentle spirit,
my constant guardian be,
“Do to others,” be my motto,
“as I’d have them do to me.”

Motherless Child - arranged by Adolphus Hailstork

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
a long way from home.

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
way up in the heavenly land.

O Praise the Lord

O praise the Lord of heaven;
praise him in the heights, praise him in the depths,
praise him all ye angels, praise Jehovah.

Praise him sun and moon and blazing comets, praise the Lord.
Let them praise the Name of the Lord,
For he spake and they were created; admire, adore.
Ye dragons whose contagious breath
People the dark abodes of death,
Change your dire hissings into heav’nly songs,
And praise your maker with your forked tongues.

Fire, hail and snow, wind and storms,
Beasts and cattle, creeping insects, flying fowl,
Kings and princes, men and angels, praise the Lord.
Jew and gentile, male and female, bond and free,
Earth and heaven, land and water, praise the Lord:
young men and maids, old men and babes, praise the Lord.

Join creation, preservation, and redemption join in one;
no exemption, nor dissention, one invention, and intention
reigns through the whole to praise the Lord. Hallelujah!

Thomas-Town

Great God how frail a thing is man,
How swift his minutes pass,
His age contracts within a span,
He blooms and dies like grass.
And must my moments thus decline,
And must I sink to death,
To thee my spirit I resign,
Thou maker of my breath.

Is Any Afflicted

Is any afflicted, let him pray.
Is any of you merry, let him sing psalms;
singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
teaching and admonishing one another
in psalms and hymns and spir’tual songs.

I Am the Rose of Sharon

I am the Rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.
As the lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house,
His banner over me was Love.
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples,
for I am sick of love.
I charge you, O ye Daughter of Jerusalem,
by the roes and by the hinds of the field,
that you stir not up nor awake my love till he please.
The voice of my beloved, behold, he cometh,
Leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
My beloved spake and said unto me:
Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away,
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.

Credo

Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem,          factorem coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine: et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis; sub Pontio Pilato passus, et sepultus est. Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in coelum: sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria judicare vivos et mortuos: cujus regni non erit finis. Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre, et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per Prophetas. Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum. Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.

I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church; I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The highest doth by gift impart;
Thou spring of life, a fire of love,
And the anointing spirit art.

So fill us all with mutual love,
and knit our hearts in one.
