No Greater Love
A greater love than this, hath no man, that He lay down His life for His friends.
This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you.
Jesus, Savior of the World
Miserere mei
Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
Miserere mei, O Jesu. Have mercy on us, O Jesus.
Salvator Mundi
Herbert Howells (1892-1983)
O Savior of the world, Who by Thy cross and Thy precious blood hast redeemed us,
Help us, save us, we humbly beseech Thee, O Lord.
Sicut Cervus
Ethan Wickman
Text from John 15:12-13
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594)
Text from Psalm 42
Gethsemane
Adam Harvey
’Tis midnight, and on Olive’s brow the star is dimmed that lately shone;
’Tis midnight, in the garden now the suffering Savior prays alone.
’Tis midnight, and from all removed, Emmanuel wrestles, lone, with fears;
E’en the disciple that He loved heeds not his Master’s grief and tears.
’Tis midnight, and for others’ guilt the Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet He, that hath in anguish knelt, is not forsaken by His God.
’Tis midnight, from heav’nly plains is borne the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains that sweetly soothe the Savior’s woe.
Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
Like as the hart desires the water-brooks: so longs my soul after thee, O God.
Stay with Us, Lord
I Want Jesus to Walk with Me
BJ Webster, soloist
Scripture Songs and Bible Canticles
Two Motets, Op. 69
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
I want Jesus to walk with me. I want Jesus to walk with me.
All along my pilgrim journey, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
In my trials, Lord, walk with me. In my trials, Lord, walk with me.
When my heart is almost breaking, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
Nunc Dimittis (Luke 2:29-32) See text in pew Bible, page 857.
Jubilate Deo (Psalm 100) See text in pew Bible, page 500.
Sanctus
arr. Moses Hogan (1957-2003)
Ola Gjeilo (b. 1977)
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory.
Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
When I’m troubled, Lord, walk with me. When I’m troubled, Lord, walk with me.
When my head is bowed in sorrow, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
Pilgrim’s Hymn
Stephen Paulus
Text by Michael Dennis Browne
Even before we call on Your name to ask You, O God,
When we seek for the words to glorify You, You hear our prayer.
Unceasing love, O unceasing love, surpassing all we know.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Even with darkness sealing us in, we breathe Your name,
And through all the days that follow so fast, we trust in You.
Jesus Christ, the Man
O Mortal Man
O mortal man, remember well, when Christ our Lord was born,
He was crucified between two thieves, and crowned with the thorn.
O mortal man, remember well, when Christ died on the rood,
’Twas for our sins and wicked ways Christ shed His precious blood.
O mortal man, remember well, when Christ was wrapped in clay,
He was taken to a sepulcher where no man ever lay.
Endless Your grace, O endless Your grace beyond all mortal dream.
Both now and forever, and unto ages and ages, Amen.
arr. John Scott
From 19th c. English Carol
Abendlied
Josef Rheinberger (1839-1901)
Bleib bei uns, denn es will Abend werden, und der Tag hat sich geneiget.
Bide with us, for evening shadows darken, and the day will soon be over.
Abide With Me
arr. Moses Hogan (1957-2003)
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me.
I need Thy presence ev’ry passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
O Thou who changest not, abide with me. In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen.
