Mister Hooper's Find It In a Minute Book (song by Rosana Eckert)

Drop, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet,
Which brought from Heav’n
The news and Prince of Peace.

Cease not, wet tears,
His mercies to entreat;
To cry for vengeance:
Sin doth never cease.

In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let His eye see
Sin, but through my tears.

Phineas Fletcher

Setting of Nathan of Breslov's "Prayer for Peace" from the Shabbat service for SATB Chorus and Piano

Prayer for Peace

This setting of the "O Sapientia" text from the "O" antiphons sets arpeggiated chords in the harp (or piano) against long, sustained tones in the choir to create an atmosphere of emotional intensity as we ask Wisdom to "...come, and teach us the way of prudence."  In this live recording, Dr Jo-Anne van der Vat-Chromy conducts The Madison Singers in the premiere performance, with harpist Karlee Lanum.

In My Father's House

Text by Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

HUSH! my dear, lie still and slumber,	 
  Holy angels guard thy bed!	 
Heavenly blessings without number	 
  Gently falling on thy head.	 
 
How much better thou'rt attended	 
  Than the Son of God could be,	
When from heaven He descended	 
  And became a child like thee!	 
 
Soft and easy is thy cradle:	 
  Coarse and hard thy Saviour lay,	 
When His birthplace was a stable	
  And His softest bed was hay.
