Psalm: Jubilate Deo in B-flat -  C.V. Stanford

O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands : serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves : we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
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.
For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting : and his truth endureth from generation to generation.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was inthe beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

Choir Responsory: I shall not die, but live  - M. Luther

Non moriar sed vivam et narrabo opera domini.

Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them And I will praise the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter.  I will praise You, for You have answered me, And have become My salvation.

This was the Lord’s doing   It is marvelous in our eyes.

Jerusalem  C.H. Parry      1. Author unknown, 1607; 2. K. Stolshagen, 1550-94

 All those who trust in Christ are blest

And find in Him eternal rest;

This world’s allurements we despise

And fix on Christ alone our eyes.

Through Him we heirs of heav’n are made;

O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid

That we may firmly trust in Thee,

And through Thee live eternally.

O Christ, our Savior, Helper Friend,

Be with us till our journey’s end.

In mercy guide us by Thy grace

Till we behold Thy glorious face.

Though Satan rage, His pow’r is gone

His thundering roar can harm us none

Our strong Defender hurls him down,

And wins for us a heav’nly crown.
