What does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, love mercy,
And walk humbly with your God.

What Does The Lord Require of You?

Barbara composed this tune at her first Music That Makes Community workshop: a setting of a well-known prayer from the Compline service in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. She writes, "while a bit of a mouthful for most contexts,  my Taizé Group has really taken to it." 

While longer than most paperless tunes in our repertoire, with careful teaching and repetition, this tune could easily find its way into the voice of a praying community.

Keep watch dear Lord
With those who work
Or watch or weep this night
And give your angels charge
Over those who sleep.
Tend the sick, Lord Christ,
Give rest to the weary,
Bless the dying,
Soothe the suffering,
Pity the afflicted,
Shield the joyous,
And all for your love’s sake.
Amen.

- from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer

Keep Watch, Dear Lord

A sermon examining the lectionary texts of Ruth and Mark 12 from the lens of peacebuilding. The sermon explores how closeness sets up new ethical dilemmas and practices of care in Ruth. It also explores the argument of love and care against unchanging principle and the idea that grace is movement closer.
