Into the West
Arranged by Alan Billingsley
Lay down your sweet and weary head Night is falling, you have come to journey’s end Sleep now, Dream of the ones who came before They are calling across the distant shore
Ruth Watson Henderson (b. 1932)
First Presbyterian Chancel Bell Ringers 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.
O vos omnes
Tomas Luis de Victoria (1549-1611)
Soon you will see All of your fears will pass away Safe in my arms, you’re only sleeping What can you see on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea, a pale moon rises The ships have come to carry you home And all will turn to silver glass A light on the water all souls pass Hope fades into the world of night Through shadows falling Out of memory and time Don’t say that we have come now to the end White shores are calling You and I will meet again And you’ll be here in my arms Just sleeping
O all ye people attend and see, If there be any sorrow like my sorrow.
Timor et tremor
Why do you weep? What are those tears upon your face?
Terry Schlenker (b.1957)
Loren Monroe, soprano Fear and trembling have come over me, And darkness has fallen upon me: Have mercy on me, Lord, have mercy, For my soul trusts in you. Hear, O God, my prayer, For you are my refuge And my strength, Lord I have called upon you, that I shall not be confounded.
A light on the water, grey ships pass Into the west
Tell My Father
Arranged by Andrea Ramsey
Tell my father that his son didn’t run or surrender That I bore his name with pride As I tried to remember you are judged by what you do While passing through As I rest ‘neath fields of green Let him lean on my shoulder Tell him how I spent my youth So the truth could grow older Tell my father, when you can I was a man
Daniel Brinsmead (b. 1988)
Holy Spirit, bestowing life unto life, moving in All. You are the root of all creatures, washing away all impurity, scouring guilt, and anointing wounds. Thus you are luminous and praiseworthy, Life, awakening, and re-awakening all that is.
Tell him how I wore the blue Proud and true through the fire Tell my father so he’ll know I love him so Tell him how I wore the blue Proud and true like he taught me Tell my father not to cry, Then say “Goodbye”
Blow the Candles out
Jonathan Dove (b. 1959)
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion And turneth the shadow of death into the morning, Alleluia, yea, the darkness shineth as the day, the night is light about me.
Nigra Sum
Jake Runestad (b. 1986)
Angels, where you soar Up to God’s own light, Take my own lost bird On your hearts tonight; And as grief once more Mounts to heaven and sings, Let my love be heard Whispering in your wings.
Spiritus Sanctus
Tell him we will meet again Where the angels learn to fly Tell him we will meet as men For with honor did I die
Seek Him that Maketh the Seven Stars
Let My Love be Heard
Pablo Casals (1876-1973)
I am very dark, but comely, O daughters of Jerusalem. Therefore the King loved me, and brought me into his chamber. And he said to me: Arise, my love, and come: For now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have appeared in our land, And the time of renewal is come. Alleluia!
Arranged by Michael Richardson
When I was ‘prenticed in Plymouth I went to see my dear, The candles they were burning The moon shone bright and clear I knocked upon her window to ease her of her pain She rose to let me in the she barred the door again I like your good behavior, darling, thus I often say and I Cannot rest contented while You are far away The winds they are so cold That you cannot stay there out So roll me in your arms love, and blow the candles out Now father and mother in yonder room do lie A huggin’ one another so why not you and I? Huggin’ one another without a fear or doubt So roll me in your arms love, and blow the candles out.
With a Lily in Your Hand, Eric Whitacre from Three Flower Songs Text by: Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936)
With a lily in your hand I leave you, o my night love! Little widow of my single star I find you. Tamer of dark Butterflies!
Down in the Valley Arranged by George Mead Down in the valley, valley so low Hang your head over Hear the wind blow Build me a castle Forty feet high So I can see her as she goes by, dear If you don’t love me Love who you please but Throw your arms round me Give my heart ease dear
trad. Appalachian / arr. Moira Smiley
Joe Williams, Appalachian dulcimer I am a poor wayfaring stranger travling through this world of woe, but there’s no sickness, toil nor danger, in that bright world through which I go. I’m goin’ there to see my Father, I’m going there no more to roam; I’m just a-goin’ over Jordan, I’m just a-goin’ over home.
By the blue footpath, Tamer of dark stars I’ll make my way. Until the universe Can fit inside My heart.
Here’s to women all around us They doth charm and doth confound us Here’s to love and beauty fair! Lovely Women!
Christopher Walker (b. 1947)
My soul magnifies the Lord. Sing to the Lord, Gloria! Alleluia, Alleluia, always!
Wayfaring Stranger
I keep along my way. After a thousand years are gone You’ll see me, O my night love!
Viva Tutti
Magnificat Anima Mea
Edited by Emily Crocker
I know dark clouds are gatherin’ o’er me. I know my way is rough and steep. Yet beauteous fields lie just before me, and lilies grow where angels sleep. I’m goin’ there to see my Mother, I’m going there no more to roam; I’m just a-goin’ over Jordan, I’m just a-goin’ over home.
Bound for the Promised Land
arr. Dan Krunnfusz
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye To Canaan’s fair and happy land where my possessions lie. I am bound for the Promised Land Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the Promised Land There gen’rous fruits that never fail on trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills and brooks and vales with milk and honey flow. Soon will the Lord prepare my soul for joys beyond the skies, Where never ceasing pleasures roll, and praises never die.

Josh Smith & Hunter McCullough, Tenors Jeffrey Ringer, Choreographer
Bring me little water Silvy Bring me little water now Bring me little water, Sylvie Ev’ry little once in a while

Silvy come a runnin’ Bucket in her hand I will bring a little water Fast as I can Bring it in a bucket, Silvy Bring it in a bucket now Bring it in a bucket, Silvy Ev’ry little once in a while
Webaba yini lendaba
Traditional South Africa
Phillip Anderson, Tenor My friends, what is this? It is my corner stone. My friends, what is this? The one who puts my heart at ease.
Can’t you see me comin’ Can’t you see me now I will bring a little water Ev’ry little once in a while
This one looks like they’ve got a heavy load to carry. So I’ll take a bit from here and a bit from there and leave it.
Bonsa Abba
Arranged by Andrew Fischer
All who sing have the right to be called The children of God
Ergen Deda
The old bachelor, red-faced old man, like this and like that, wearing his peasant hat sideways, like this and like that, etc. tipped up and down, He went to the village, and joined the circle dance, to dance next to the maidens, All the maidens ran away, only the youngest one stayed, the youngest one, Angelina.
Peter Lyondev
I have lived a long life surrounded by loved ones. Rejoice for our time together on earth and let the light surround us!
The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune R. Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
GUEST ARTIST
All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him, and rejoice. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, Without our aid he did us make; We are his fold, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take. O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why? The Lord our God is good: His mercy is forever sure; His Truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.

They are the proud parents of two little girls, Molly and Meredith.
