Lectionary Hymns Hymn Suggestions FOR THE LECTIONARY compiled by Christopher Fischer, MMus This list of suggested songs from the Book of Praise (1997) is based on readings for the Sundays and festivals of the liturgical year, as appointed in the Revised Common Lectionary (1992, The Consultation on Common Texts.) We trust that these resources will continue to support and encourage the use of the Book of Praise, to the glory of God and to the building of Christ’s church. Notes 1. Please consult each year’s published Lectionary tables for the Scripture readings proper to each day. 2. The selected songs are arranged in a sequence based on the fourfold pattern of worship, i.e., each song in a group is given in order, corresponding to Gathering, the Word (often a metrical psalm), the Response, and Sending Forth. (One song is provided for each of these four segments of the worship service.) 3. Some Sundays and special days are common to all three Lectionary years (A, B & C.) Song suggestions for these days are given in Table IV, after the table for Year C.

  • SERVICE of WORSHIP Easter Sunday BRIDGING FAITH & LEARNING Sunday, April 1, 2018, 9:00 A.M
    SERVICE OF WORSHIP Easter Sunday BRIDGING FAITH & LEARNING Sunday, April 1, 2018, 9:00 a.m. Icon of the Resurrection Easter Sunday is the principal feast of the liturgical year—the day Christians celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. The resurrection of Christ has been a focal point of Christian confession since the early church; Christians have understood the resurrection to be the central witness of God’s radical action in human history. Jesus, God incarnate, went to the depths of the earth and overcame the power of death that we might have life eternal. Gathering Carillon Music Fantasia on O filii et filiae John J. H.

Hymn (Common Praise 157) The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; the Passover of gladness, the Passover of God; from death to life eternal, from earth unto the sky, our God hath brought us over with hymns of victory. Our hearts be pure from evil, that we may see aright the Lord in rays eternal of resurrection-light; and, listening to his accents, may hear, so calm and plain his own ‘All hail’ and, hearing, may raise the victor strain. 1 Now let the heavens be joyful, and earth her song begin, the round world keep high triumph, and all that is therein; let all things seen and unseen their notes in gladness blend, for Christ the Lord is risen, our joy that hath no end.

  • 1 Sounds of Worship Easter Day the Hymns Set for Today Are Very Familiar
    Sounds of Worship Easter Day The hymns set for today are very familiar and require very little introduction. However, I have included some historical background to the two I have selected to focus on, to encourage you to read the words as though for the first time rather than as a familiar friend you have known for many years. I start with “Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" AM 205 which was written in the 14th century as a Bohemian Latin hymn titled "Surrexit Christus hodie". The original author is unknown but the text was preserved on manuscripts written in Munich and Breslau. The original Latin text had eleven verses. It was first translated into English in 1708 by John Baptist Walsh to be included in his Lyra Davidica (Collection of Divine Songs and Hymns). The verses of the hymn were revised in 1749 by John Arnold. Initially only three of the original Latin verses were translated with just the first verse being a direct translation; in 1740 Charles Wesley added a fourth verse to the hymn as an alternative although this is not included in the hymn book we use. There is no record of the composer of the tune (Easter Hymn) to which the hymn was set in the Lyra Davidica. Like so many hymns the original words and music come from widely different sources and eventually find the ideal partnership. In this case, the words can first, from the 14th Century set much later to music in the 18th.

    2 The Programme Judas Maccabaeus - George Frideric Handel There will be an interval during Act Two Conductor: Cathal Garvey Soprano: Anna Devin Mezzo Soprano: Anne Marie Gibbons Tenor: Paul Austin Kelly Baritone: Ashley Riches Southern Sinfonia Baroque Organist and Rehearsal Accompanist: Steve Bowey The use of period instruments was made possible by funds provided by a supporter of the Society, augmented by Newbury Town Council. Please visit http://www.newburychoral.org.uk/ConcertFeedback/ to give us your feedback on this concert. 3 Programme Notes by Jane Hawker Judas Maccabaeus George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) Written in 1746, Judas Maccabaeus was Handel’s first collaboration with librettist Reverend Dr Thomas Morell, whose letters give us an insight into the rewards and tribulations of working with the sixty- one-year-old composer. Dr Morell described Handel as having a ‘haughty disposition’ and was unimpressed with his knowledge of the English language; but he was nevertheless in awe of Handel’s enthusiasm and ability to compose tunes spontaneously to words suggested by Morell. From its first performance in 1747 in London’s Covent Garden Theatre (now Drury Lane), the oratorio was a huge success, prompting Morell to wish that he had asked for a percentage of the takings instead of a flat fee. Judas Maccabaeus is written in three acts. Morell based his text largely on two books of the Biblical Apocrypha, I and II Maccabees, written in Greek in the second century BC. They tell the story of Judas Maccabaeus, who gained his reputation as an inspirational and fearsome warrior for leading the Jewish people’s revolt against their pagan invaders.
