Before the rooster crows you will deny me thrice!
Tu es Petrus-Maruice DurufleText: Matthew 16:18

Chorale from St. John Passion-J.S. Bach
Text: Christian Heinrich Postel
Peter, who does not think back at all,
denies his God,
but then at a look of reproach
weeps bitterly.
Jesus, look at me also
when I am reluctant to repent;
when I have done evil
stir up my conscience!
Wondrous Love-arr. Alice Parker
Text: Traditional
What wondrous love is this, O my soul,
that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse,
for my soul.
When I was sinking down, O my soul,
When I was sinking down
Beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
For my soul.
To God and to the Lamb I will sing,
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the Great “I am”
While millions join the theme,
I will sing.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m freed,
I’ll sing and joyful be,
And thro’ eternity
I’ll sing on.

Calme des nuites-Camille Saint-Saens
Text: Camille Saint-Saens
Calmness of night, coolness of evening,
vast glittering of stellar worlds,
deep silence of dark caverns:
You charm the deeper souls.
The brightness of the sun, cheerfulness
and noise please the facile minds;
the poet alone is haunted
by the love of quiet things.
Orpheus-Judith Weir
Text: William Shakespeare
Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flowers
ever sprung to his music as sun and showers
had made a lasting spring.
Ev’ry thing that heard him play;
even the billows of the sea
hung their heads and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art,
killing care and grief of heart,
fall asleep or hearing die.
David’s Lamentation-William Billings
Text: traditional hymn
David, the king was grieved and moved,
He went to his chamber and wept;
And as he went he wept, and said,
“O my son!”
Would to God I had died for thee,
O Absalom, my son!
Sun-Drunk-Jessica Weible (spoken)
Day of Fire and Sun-Kate Crellin
Text: Sara Teasdale
Oh day of fire and sun,
Pure as a naked flame,
Blue sea, blue sky and dun
Sands where he spoke my name;
Laughter and hearts so high
That the spirit flew off free,
Lifting into the sky
Diving into the sea;
Oh day of fire and sun
Like a crystal burning,
Slow days go one by one,
But you have no returning.
Set 4-Drinks on the Rocks
Zou Bisou Bisou-Jessica Paré
Oh kiss kiss
Oh kiss kiss, my God they're soft
Oh kiss kiss
Oh kiss kiss, the sound of kisses
In the bushes under the August sky
Lovers on tip-toe stealing by
Like birds they've got their rendez-vous
Everywhere, you hear
Oh kiss kiss
Oh kiss kiss,
my God they're soft
But tell me, do you know
What it means, between ourselves
What it means "Zou bisou"?
It means, I confess,
But of course, I love only you
Oh kiss kiss
Oh kiss, my God how sweet
But no need for bushes in the month of August
When you kiss me softly upon my neck
It's quite funny, you know, I confess
I feel oh kiss kiss all over
Oh kiss kiss, little kisses!
Fly Me to the Moon-arr. Natalie Goosens
Text: Bart Howard
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
And let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me.
Fill my heart with song.
Let me sing forevermore.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true.
In other words, I love you.
Fill my heart with song.
Let me sing forevermore.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
In other words, please be true.
In other words, in other words
I love you.

A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy!
Set 5-Old Time Religion
At the River-Aaron Copland
Text: Traditional Hymn Tune
Shall we gather by the river,
Where bright angel’s feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God.
Yes we’ll gather by the river,
The beautiful river,
Gather with the saints by the river
That Flows by the throne of God.
Soon we’ll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Yes we’ll gather by the river,
The beautiful river,
Gather with the saints by the river
That flows by the throne of God.
Give me that old time religion-arr. John Hoybye
Text: Spiritual
Give me that old time religion,
It’s good enough for me.
It was good for my old mother,
It’s good enough for me.
Give me that old time religion,
It’s good enough for me.
It was good for Paul and Silas,
It’s good enough for me.
Give me that old time religion,
It’s good enough for me.
Down by the riverside-arr. Carsten Gerlitz
Text: Spiritual
I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield down by the riverside!

Elijah Rock-arr. Mary Ellen Kerrick
Text: spiritual
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin’ up Lord.
Satan is a liar and a conjurer, too.
If you don’t watch out, he’ll conjure you.
If I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood.
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin’ up Lord.
Trouble’s out to getcha; gonna lead you astry
If you don’t watch out, you’ll lose your way.
The Rock is sure, and the Rock is strong.
So run to the Rock, and you won’t go wrong!
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin’ up Lord.
Encore-PA/MI-All Mixed Up-arr. Robert de Cormier (JULY 22 ONLY)
Text: Pete Seeger
You know this language that we speak,
Is part German, Latin and part Greek
Celtic and Arabic all in a heap,
Well amended by the people in the street
Choctaw gave us the word "okay";
"Vamose" is a word from Mexico way.
And all of this is a hint I suspect
of what comes next.
I think that this whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up.
Soon mama my whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up.
I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice,
And pizza pie is also nice
Corn and beans from the Indians here
Washed down by German beer
Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony,
He brought to Italy, the first macaroni
And you and I as well as we're able,
We put it all on the table
There were no red-headed Irishmen
Before the Vikings landed in Ireland
How many Romans had dark curly hair
Before they brought slaves from Africa?
No race of man is completely pure,
Nor is anyone's mind, that's for sure
The winds mix the dust of every land,
And so will woman and man.
This doesn't mean we will all be the same,
We'll have different faces and different names
Long live many different kinds of races
It's difference of opinion that makes horse races
Just remember the rule about rules, brother
What could be right for one could be wrong for the other
And take a tip from La Belle France:
"Viva la difference!"

The Bells of St. Mary's
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea
And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me.
