PROCLAMATION & RESPONSE

ANTHEM8:00 “Draw Nigh and Take the Body of The Lord” Eric Thiman

The Wesley Choir

9:30/11:00 “Jesus, Refuge of the Weary” Bavarian Folk Hymn, arr. G. Schroth

The Cathedral ChoirJesus, Refuge of the weary, Blest Redeemer, whom we love,Fountain in life’s desert dreary, Savior from the world above,Oh, how oft Thine eyes offended, gaze upon the sinners fall!Yet, upon the cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all.

Do we pass that cross unheeding, breathing no repentant vow,

Tho’ we see Thee wounded, bleeding, see Thy thorn encircled brow?Yet Thy sinless death has brought us life eternal, peace and rest;Only Thy grace has taught us, calms the sinner’s stormy breast.

Jesus, may our hearts be burning with more fervent love for Thee!

May our eyes be ever turning to Thy cross of agony.Till in glory parted never, from the blessed Savior’s side,

Graven in our hearts forever, dwell the cross, the Crucified! Amen.
