Chancel Choir Christus Paradox Alfred Fedak

You, Lord, are both lamb and shepherd. You, Lord, are both prince and slave. You, peacemaker and swordbringer of the way you took and gave. You, the everlasting instant; you, whom we both scorn and crave. Clothed in light upon the mountain, stripped of might upon the cross, shining in eternal glory, beggared by a soldier's toss. You, the everlasting instant; you who are both gift and cost. You, who walk each day beside us, sit in power at God's side. You who preach a way that's narrow have a love that reaches wide. You, the everlasting instant; you who are our pilgrim guide. Worthy is our earthly Jesus! Worthy is our Cosmic Christ! Worthy your defeat and victory; worthy still your peace and strife. You, the everlasting instant; you who are our death and life. -Sylvia Dunstan 1991 GIA Publications. Used with Permission.

THE SCRIPTURE READING...........................Toviel Cayton 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2 THE ANTHEM.......Chancel Choir The Only Son from Heaven Johann Sebastian Bach

Awaken, Lord, our spirit, to know and love you more, in faith to stand unshaken, in spirit to adore, that we through this world moving, each glimpse of heaven proving, may reach its fullness there. -Elisabeth Cruciger, tr.
