Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (2021) arr. Gustav Holst
Sarah Wingard, Matthew Topping, soloists
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly minded for with blessing in His hand, Christ our Lord to earth descendeth our full homage to demand.
King of Kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth He stood Lord of Lords, in human vesture in the Body and the Blood He will give to all the faithful His own Self for heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads His vanguard on the way As the light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day That the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six-winged seraph; Cherubim with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry: Alleluia Lord most High. Amen
The Word Was God (2008, 2011) Rosephanye Powell (A Susquehanna Christmas II)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, And the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made that have been made. Nothing was made He has not made.
