The three hymns sung this morning (Opening, Gradual, Closing) and the Prayer of Confession were chosen by Brant for his first service at First Presbyterian on October 20, 1985. The hymnal in use then was The [red] Hymnbook, pub. 1955, in which the Gradual Hymn was No. 292. The opening voluntary was a chorale prelude on AUF MEINEN LIEBEN GOTT similar to that heard this morning. The Offertory Hymn was led by the Choral Scholars, each from his/her own home, using the Acapella app. It was commissioned by First Presbyterian Church for Brant Copeland’s 15th Anniversary celebration in 2000, and subsequently published in our current hymnal, Glory to God, 2013.
