Music for the 21st Sunday after Pentecost: October 17, 2021

 

OPENING VOLUNTARY The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns (St. Magnus) setting, Bernard Wayne Sanders

 

GATHERING HYMN Making Their Way (Komt nu met zang) ACS 979

This hymn comes from the new ELCA hymn resource All Creation Sings. A couple of weeks ago we sang this new-to-us tune with the text “What is this place where we are meeting.”

 

PSALM Psalm 104:1-9, 24, 35b

The tune of the refrain is borrowed from a Taiwanese hymn. Members of our Festival Choir and St. Mark’s ringers led this hymn for a Lutheran Restoring Creation worship service which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLnfqE6FFRQ&t=622s
Our contribution begins at the 30:00 mark.
