Confiteor

I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Psalm 80

Keith Smolinski

Refrain: The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
Verse 1
A vine from Egypt you transplanted;
you drove away the nations and planted it.
It put forth its foliage to the Sea,
its shoots as far as the River.

Refrain: The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Verse 2
Why have you broken down its walls,
so that every passer-by plucks its fruit,
The boar from the forest lays it waste,
and the beasts of the field feed upon it?

Refrain: The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Verse 3
Once again, O LORD of hosts,
look down from heaven, and see;
take care of this vine,
and protect what your right hand has planted
the son of man whom you yourself made strong.

Refrain: The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Verse 4
Then we will no more withdraw from you;
give us new life, and we will call upon your name.
O LORD, God of hosts, restore us;
if your face shine upon us, then we shall be saved.

Refrain: The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Peter Sipple Psalm 98 Christmas-Year C Easter 6-Year B; and Proper 28-Year C-II

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.
2. With his right hand and his holy arm has he won for himself the victory.
3. The Lord has made known his victory; his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the nations.
4. He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel, and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.
5. Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; lift up your voice, rejoice and sing.
6. Sing to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the voice of song.
7. With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy before the King, the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.
8. Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, the lands and those who dwell therein.
9. Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord, when he comes to judge the earth.
10. In righteousness shall he judge the world and the peoples with equity.
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.

Daniel 3: Glory and praise

Julian Revie

Glory and praise, glory and praise, glory and praise for ever!
Glory and praise, glory and praise, glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;
And blessed is your holy and glorious name,
praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.
Glory and praise, glory and praise, glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory,
praiseworthy and glorious above all forever.
Glory and praise, glory and praise, glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.
Glory and praise, glory and praise, glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you who look into the depths
from your throne upon the cherubim,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.
Glory and praise, glory and praise, glory and praise for ever!

Happy are they whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!

Happy are they whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!
4. You laid down your commandments, that we should fully keep them.
5. Oh, that my ways were made so direct that I might keep your statutes!
6. Then I should not be put to shame, when I regard all your commandments.
Happy are they whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!
7. I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, when I have learned your righteous judgments.
8. I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
Happy are they whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!

Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all you lands.
Sing to the LORD; bless his name.

for he comes to rule the earth.
He shall rule the world with justice
and the peoples with his constancy.

Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling

Thompson (public domain)

1.
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

2.
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

Come home, come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

3.
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.

Come home, come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

4.
Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.

Come home, come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

Easter Exsultet (choir reduction)

Julian Revie

text not included in Choir version

Again we keep the solemn fast

Bach

Again we keep the solemn fast,
a rite and practice from the past,
The fast to all men known and bound,
in forty days of yearly round.

The law and prophets from of old
In diverse ways this Lent foretold,
which Christ, all ages' king and guide,
In these last days has sanctified.

More sparing, therefore, let us make
The words we speak, the food we take,
Our sleep, our laughter, ev'ry breath,
all guided now to inner health.

To hunger as a penitent,
May seem as some diminishment;
To live with less for forty days,
Can bring us growth and give God praise.
