Walton-Magnificat-Chichester Service / The Advent Choir

Eternal Father, op 135, no 2 -- Charles Villiers Stanford (1852–1924) / The Advent Choir / Jeremy Bruns, conductor /

Eternal Father, who didst all create, in whom we live and to whose bosom move, to all men be thy name known which is Love, till its loud praises sound at heaven’s high gate.

Perfect thy kingdom in our passing state, that here on earth thou mayst as well approve our service as thou ownest theirs above whose joy we echo and in pain await.

Grant body and soul each day their daily bread: and should in spite of grace fresh woe begin, even as our anger soon is past and dead, be thy remembrance mortal of our sin:

By thee in paths of peace thy sheep be led, and in the vale of terror comforted.

[Sonnet no 69 from The Growth of Love, Robert Bridges (1844–1930)]

Introit: Jesu, dulcis memoria -- Tomás Luis de Victoria (c1548-1611)

Jesu, dulcis memoria, dans vera cordis gaudia;

Jesus, the very thought is sweet, in that dear Name all heart joys meet;
but sweeter than the honey far the glimpses of his presence are.
