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.
Text: Jane Griner
Locus iste — Anton Bruckner
Locus iste a Deo factus est,
inaestimabile sacramentum,
irreprehensibilis est.
This place was made by God;
a priceless holy place,
found without fault.
Text: Gradual for the Dedication of a Church
Only Begotten Son — Alexandre Gretchaninoff
Copyright 2002, by Orthodoxia Music Press, used by permisssion.
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.
Text: Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom
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.”
Text and Tune: Shaker Song by Sister Polly M. Rupe,
Pleasant Hill, KY (1867)
Motherless Child - arr. by Adolphus Hailstork
Copyright 2002 E.C Schirmer, used by permission
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.
Lawrence Young and Lou Kohlman, Soloists
Text and Tune: Traditional Spiritual
Thanks and appreciation to Fr. Robert Wood, Pastor of The Church of St. James the Greater, Oklahoma City, for allowing us to record in his parish.
