Text by Isaac Watts
Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest!
With holy gifts and heav’nly grace,
Be these attendants blest.
My soul shall pray for Zion still,
While life or breath remains;
Here my best friends, my kindred dwell,
Here God, my Saviour, reigns.

Sing till the power of the Lord come down
Shout Hallelujah! Praise His Holy name!
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see.
Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for ev’ryone and there’s a cross for me.
Praise His Name, [etc.]
Praise His Holy Name!

Requiem
I Salvator mundi
HERBERT HOWELLS
O savior of the world, who by thy cross and thy precious blood has redeemed us, save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.

Rest eternal grant unto them.

IV Psalm 121
ISAAC ARAKAKI, bass, NATE CHENEY, tenor
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: from whence cometh my help; My help cometh even from the Lord: who hath made heav’n and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: and he that keepeth thee will not sleep. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord himself is thy keeper: he is thy defence upon thy right hand; So that the sun shall not burn thee by day: neither the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in: from this time forth and forevermore.
V Requiem aeternam (2)
Sung in Latin
Rest eternal grant unto them.
And may light perpetual shine upon them.
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord.

Pilgrim Song
RYAN MURPHY
Traditional American
SIENA MIRASOL, piano
My brethren, I have found a land that doth abound with fruit as sweet as honey;
The more I eat I find the more I am inclined to shout and sing Hosanna!
[Ref.] My soul doth long to go where I may fully know the glory of my Savior.
Mid’ sweetness and the strife, I’ll live a joyful life. I’m going to sing forever!
Perhaps you think me wild or simple as a child; I am a child of glory.
I am born from above, my soul is filled with love; I love to tell the story.
[Ref.]
And as I pass along I’ll sing the Christian song, I’m going to live forever.
My soul now sits and sings and practices its wings, and contemplates the hour.
When the messenger shall say, ‘Come, quit this house of clay and with bright angels tower.”
[Ref.]
And as I pass along I’ll sing the Christian song, I’m going to live forever.

Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day
JOHN GARDNER
Traditional English carol
SIENA MIRASOL, piano
Tomorrow shall be my dancing day;
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play
To call my true love to my dance;
Ref. Sing O my love,
O my love, my love, my love;
This have I done for my true love.
Then was I born of a virgin pure,
Of her I took fleshly substance;
Thus was I knit to man’s nature,
To call my true love to my dance
[Ref]
In a manger laid and wrapped I was,
So very poor this was my chance,
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass,
To call my true love to my dance
[Ref]
Then afterwards baptized I was;
The Holy Ghost on my did glance,
My Father’s voice heard from above,
To call my true love to my dance
[Ref]

Sisi ni moja (we are one)
JACOB NARVERUD
Sung in English and Swahili
SIENA MIRASOL, piano
We all laugh, we all cry, we all feel hunger, we all feel pain.
We all love, we all hate, we all hope, and we all dream.
We are one world, one people. And we all breathe the same.
A tribe of many languages, a group of many heartaches,
Fighting for peace among the land.
Heja, heja, sisi ni moja. Heja, heja, we are one.
etc.
Sisi ni moja (SBMP 1338)

O Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge
RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS
Psalm 90, from the Book of Common Prayer
Psalm 90, metrical paraphrase by Isaac Watts
SOPHIA RICH, soprano, GINA LINCOLN, alto, BRANDAN PATCHETT, tenor, PETER THOMSEN, bass
LINDSAY ARMSTRONG, conductor
KRAIG SCOTT, organ
Lord, Thou hast been our refuge from one generation to another
Before the mountains were brought forth or ever the earth and the world were made
Thou art God from everlasting and world without end.
Thou turnest man to destruction; again Thou sayest, Come again ye children of men
For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday, seeing that is past as a watch in the night.
O God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter in the stormy blast
And our eternal home.
As soon as Thou scatterest them they are even as a sleep and fade away suddenly like the grass
In the morning it is green and growth up, but in the evening it is cut down, dried up and withered.
For we consume away in Thy displeasure, and are afraid at Thy wrathful indignation.
For when Thou art angry all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told,
The years of our age are three score years and ten,
And though men be so strong that they come to four-score years, yet is their strength but labour and sorrow.
So passeth it away and we are gone.
Turn Thee again O Lord at the last. Be gracious unto Thy servants
O satisfy us with Thy mercy and that soon.
So shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
And the glorious Majesty of the Lord be upon us
Prosper Thou, O prosper Thou the work of our hands
O prosper Thou our handywork.
Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge by R. Vaughan Williams

City Called Heaven
TORI REDIC, soprano
SIENA MIRASOL, piano
I am a pilgrim, a pilgrim of sorrow,
I’m left in this wide world, this wide world alone
Ain’t got no hope got no hope for tomorrow
Trying to make it, make heaven my home.
Sometimes I’m tossed and I’m driven, Lord.
Sometimes I just don’t know which way to turn
Oh I heard of a city, a city called heaven
Trying to make it, make heaven my home.
City Called Heaven (21-20105)

The Heart of Life

MICHAEL FLORES, AUSTIN-NEIL THOMSON, duet
KRISTINA KOZAKOVA, JOHANNA CHEVRIER, LINDSAY ARMSTRONG, descant
ADELINE TOMARERE, alto
I hate to see you cry Laying there in that position
There's things you need to hear So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

Brave
SARA BAREILLES, arr. KRAIG SCOTT
JOHANNA CHEVRIER, soprano
KRAIG SCOTT, piano
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
And they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Innocence, your history of silence
Won't do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
