Jubilate Deo
Text from Psalm C, Book of Common Prayer
Music by Michael Fink
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra!
O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands;
Serve the Lord with gladness,
And come before his presence with a song.
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra!
Be ye sure that the Lord he is God;
It is he that hath made us and not we our selves;
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra!
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise;
Be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra!
For the Lord is gracious,
His mercy is everlasting;
And his truth endureth from generation to generation.
Amen!
Hold Fast to Dreams
Poem by Langston Hughes
Music by Susan LaBarr
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren filed
Frozen with snow.
My Good Lord’s Done Been Here
Traditional Spiritual
arr. Moses Hogan
Choral adaptation and arrangement by Rollo Dilworth
Grace Cooper, electronic bass
My good Lord’s done been here,
Blest my soul and gone away.
My good Lord’s done been here,
Blest my soul and gone.
Never did I think that He was so nigh,
Blest my soul and gone;
He spoke and He made me laugh and cry,
Blest my soul and gone.
My good Lord’s done been here,
Blest my soul and gone away.
My good Lord’s done been here,
Blest my soul and gone.
Sinner, better min’ how you walk on the cross,
Blest my soul and gone.
Your foot might slip and your soul get lost,
Blest my soul and gone.
My good Lord’s done been here,
Blest my soul and gone away.
My good Lord’s done been here,
Blest my soul and gone.
A Path to Each Other
Text by Julia Klatt Singer
Music by Jocelyn Hagen and Timothy C. Takach
Charlotte Geary and Brandon Allbritton, duet
Each word a stone
We can build a wall
Or a
Path
To
Each
Other.
Sisi Ni Moja (We Are One)
Words and music by Jacob Narverud
Bram Wayman, djembe
We all laugh, we all cry, we all feel hunger, we all feel pain.
We all love, we all hate, we all hope, and we all dream.
We are one world, one people. And we all breathe the same.
A tribe of many languages, a group of many heartaches,
fighting for peace among the land.
Heja, heja, sisi ni moja. Heja, heja, we are one.
We all want, we all need, we all seek passion, we all seek joy.
We all bruise, we all scar, we all fail, but learn to thrive.
We are one world, one people. And we all breathe the same.
In the darkness of the night and in the glory of the morning,
we walk along the path and find our way.
Now we stand here together and lift our hearts in song
to the rhythm of this moment in our lives:
Heja, heja, sisi ni moja. Heja, heja, we are one.

Tundra
Ola Gjeilo (b. 1978)
Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri
Wide, worn and weathered,
Sacred expanse
Of green and white and granite grey;
Snowy patches strewn,
Anchored to the craggy earth,
Unmoving;
While clouds dance
Across the vast, eternal sky.
Ave Maris Stella
Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger (1839–1901)
Anonymous Christian hymn to the Virgin Mary
Ave, maris stella, Dei Mater alma,
atque semper Virgo, felix caeli porta.
Sumens illud Ave Gabrielis ore,
funda nos in pace, mutans Evae nomen.
Monstra te esse matrem
sumat per te preces,
qui pro nobis natus tulit esse tuus.
Virgo singularis, inter omnes mitis,
nos culpis solutos, mites fac et castos.
Vitam praesta puram, iter para tutum,
ut videntes Jesum, semper collaetemur.
Hail, star of the sea, loving Mother of God,
and also always a virgin,
Happy gate of heaven.
Receiving that Ave from Gabriel’s mouth
confirm us in peace, reversing Eva’s name.
Show yourself to be a mother,
May he accept prayers through you,
he who, born for us, chose to be yours.
O unique virgin, meek above all,
Make us, absolved from sin,
Gentle and chaste.
Keep life pure, make the journey safe,
So that, seeing Jesus,
We may always rejoice together.
Ave Maria
David MacIntyre (b. 1952)
Christian prayer
Ave Maria. Hail Mary.
II.
We Pray to Be at Peace
(from Missa Gaia)
Libby Larsen (b. 1950)
Text by M. K. Dean
Bram Wayman, conductor
Mother, sister, blessed, honored,
Life of the water, life of the flower,
Grant that we do not hurt ourselves with vanity.
Help us to feel and not to feel.
Teach us to care.
Teach us to be at peace with [what] will.
Teach us to care for all we touch
And let my prayer be heard by Thee.
The Stove
Zae Munn (b. 1953)
Text: Ann Kilkelly
Dōng Sī ("Winter Thoughts")
Su Xin (b. 1992)
Text: Yu Zirong
Su Xin, conductor
冬思
雪染千山暮霭沉，
万树起舞两相欢。
不问归处多离恨，
且随平地起波澜。
Snow paint mountains, smoky night
Thousands of trees are dancing,
celebrating the loving time.
No one talks about the hatred in the end
Enjoy the crazy moment at the turbulent time.
