We Will Rise! Wartburg Choir and Plymouth Choir Concert Sunday, November 4 at 3:00 p.m. \"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.\" Text & Translation Wartburg Choir and Plymouth ChoirPsaume XXIV (Psalm 24) - Lili Boulanger Drew Duncan, tenor; Jeremy Spale, timpani; Ariel Merivil, organ The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. He hath founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart, Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity and hath not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, O God of Jacob. Lift up your heads O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors, And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors, And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King, The Lord. He is the King, The King of glory eternal.Like Him We Rise - Tom Trenney He came down that we may have love. He came down that we may rise. “Come unto me,” our Savior said. “Ye weary, come, I’ll give you rest.” From stable room and manger bed to paradise forever blessed. Made like him, like him we rise! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies; Light and life to all he brings, ris’n with healing in his wings. “Come, all who thirst, be satisfied with water I alone can give.” Upon the cross, “I thirst,” he cried, conqu’ring death that we might live! Made like him, like him we rise! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies; Light and life to all he brings, ris’n with healing in his wings. “When in the shadow, do not fear. I am your light, your lamp, your sun.” The sting of death shall disappear. The fight is fought! The battle won! Made like him, like him we rise! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies; Light and life to all he brings, ris’n with healing in his wings. He came down that we may rise.

Plymouth ChoirI'll be on My Way - Shawn Kirchner Kyle Sandall, bass; Jason Shaw, violin; Stephen Cantarero, bass When I am gone, don’t you cry for me. Don’t you pity my sorry soul. What pain that might have been, Will now be passed and my spirit will be whole. I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way. I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground, I will be glory bound, I’ll be on my way. When I am gone, please forgive the wrongs, That I might have done to you. There’ll be no room for regrets up there, High above way beyond the blue. I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way. I’ll have laid my frown, and all my burdens down I’ll be putting on my crown, I’ll be on my way. When I am gone, don’t you look for me, In the places I have been. I’ll be alive, but somewhere else but on my way again I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way. I will lift my wings and soar into the air, There’ll be glory everywhere. I’ll be on my way. I’ll be on my way. I’ll have laid my frown, and all my burdens down, I’ll be putting on my crown, I’ll be on my way. I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground, I will be glory bound, I’ll be on my way.Give Us the Wings of Faith - Howard Helvey Give us the wings of faith to rise within the veil, and see the saints above, how great their joys, how bright their glories be; We ask them whence their victory came; they, with united breath, ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, their triumph to his death; They marked the footsteps that he trod, his zeal inspired their quest; and following their God, possess the promised rest; Give us the wings of faith to rise.

Wake, Awake - Philipp Nicolai/ arr. F. Melius Christiansen Wake, awake, for night is flying: the watchmen on the heights are crying, Awake, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight’s solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet, go forth, the Bridegroom meet, Hallelujah! Bear through the night your well-trimmed light, speed forth to join the marriage rite. Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending from tongues of men and angels blending With harps and lute and psaltery. By thy pearly gates in wonder We stand and swell the voice of thunder, in bursts of choral melody: Hallelujah! No vision ever brought, no ear hath ever caught such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, to praise Thee ages all along. Hallelujah!Great God Almighty – Work Song/arr. Stacey Gibbs Great God Almigh’y Riding in a hurry, Riding like he angry, bullwhip in one han’, cowhide in the other. Cap’ain went to yellin’, did you hear the cap’ain shout? “Take off yo’ shirt now ‘cause I’m gonna kill ya!” No! Great God Almigh’y, Hear de cap’ain comin’, ridin’ Won’ be no mo’ runnin’ and hidin’. O hear my cry, O Lawd, please hear my plea, O Lawd. Bully went to pleadin’, have mercy, Cap’ain don’ you kill me, please don’ you kill me! No, stop! I’m figh’in till my death. I’m gonna keep on a-runnin’ till my ver’ las’ breath. Shoutin’, great God Almigh’y, God!Let Your Faith Be Stronger Than Your Fear - Tom Trenney Ariel Merivil, tenor In the deserts of your life, I'll not desert you. I will make a way beside a flowing stream. Through the valley, do not fear, for I am with you; My rod and staff to comfort and redeem. In the darkness of your life, I will not leave you. In the shadow, I'm your light, your lamp, your sun. I will be the star that shines above to guide you, a light unto your path to lead you on. Refrain: Do not be afraid, I go before you. Do not be afraid, I am by your side. Be still and know that I am with you. Let your faith be stronger than your fear. When you're weary, when you're faint, I will be with you. I will raise you up to soar on eagle's wings. I will be the joy that seeks you through your sorrow. Unending hope my resurrection brings. When the storms of life assail, I will uphold you. I will strengthen you; I'll be the help you need. Though the waters rage and foam, fear not, I'm with you. I am the way, the truth, the life, indeed! (refrain)

Community Sing Wartburg ChoirO Day Full of Grace - Christopher Weyse/arr. F. Melius Christiansen O day full of grace, which we behold now gently to view ascending, Thou over the earth thy reign unfold, good cheer to all mortals lending, That children of light in ev’ry clime may prove that the night is ending. How blest was that gracious midnight hour when God in our flesh was given; Then flushed the dawn with light and pow’r that spread o’er the darkened heaven; Then rose o’er the world that sun divine which gloom from our hearts hath driven. Yea, were ev’ry tree endowed with speech, and ev’ry leaflet singing, They never with praise God’s worth could reach, though earth with their praise be ringing. Who fully could praise the light of life who light to our souls is bringing? With joy we depart for the promised land, and there we shall walk in endless light.I'll Fly Away - Albert Brumley/arr. Shawn Kirchner I will fly; I'll fly away. Some bright mornin' when this life is o'er, I'll fly away. To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away, in the mornin'! Refrain: I'll fly away, O Lordy, I'll fly away. When I die, hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away. When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away. Like a bird that prison bars has flown, I'll fly away! (refrain) Just a few more weary days and then I’ll fly away. To a land where joys will never end, I’ll fly away. (refrain)

Bar xizam (Upward I Rise) - Abbie Betinis Greta Nelson, alto; Emily Schmidt, soprano; Mark Fakler, tenor Waiting, where is the harmony of your voice, So that, free from the desires of this life: I might rise? I am a dove from paradise, but out of this worldly cage: I shall rise. If, in your devotion, you call upon me to serve you, Then I promise, from the desires of life and this world: I will rise. O Lord, from the cloud of your grace, Let your rain fall over and over, Before it falls, from the midst of it all, Life a handful of dust. Let me rise. O rise up, with sweet gesture, And show me your stature: lofty, like the cypress, With dancing feet: I rise. With clapping hands: I rise On the day that I die, in the span of a single breath, Grant me but a glimpse of you, And then, like Hafez, free from the desires of life and this world: Upward, I rise!Prayer – René Clausen Help me spread your fragrance wherever I go. Flood my soul with your Spirit and Life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that my life may be only a radiance of yours. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I know will feel your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me, but only You.I Will Make a Way! - Tom Trenney Hugh Brown, piano Behold! I will do a new thing! Everything old has passed away. See, everything old has become new. I will make a way in the wilderness. I will make rivers in the desert. Do not remember the former things or consider the ways of old. The wild animals will honor me, the jackals and ostriches. For I give water in the wilderness, the desert shall be a pool.I Will Rise - arr. Craig Courtney/Lynda Hasseler Annika Krieg, Bailey Condon, and Riley Anderson with Tyler Davis, Kennedy Hiles, and Abbey Bond There's a peace I've come to know, though my heart and flesh may fail. There's an anchor for my soul. I can say, \"It is well\" Jesus has overcome, and the grave is overwhelmed. The victory is won; He is risen from the dead. And I will rise when He calls my name no more sorrow, no more pain. I will rise on eagles' wings: Before my God fall on my knees and rise. I will rise. There's a day that's drawing near when this darkness breaks to light. And the shadows disappear, and my faith shall be my eyes.

Jesus has overcome, and the grave is overwhelmed. The victory is won; He is risen from the dead. And I will rise when He calls my name no more sorrow, no more pain. I will rise on eagles' wings: Before my God fall on my knees and rise. I will rise. And I hear the voice of many angels sing, \"Worthy is the Lamb.\" And I hear the cry of every longing heart, \"Worthy is the Lamb.\" And I hear the voice of many angels sing, \"Worthy is the Lamb.\" And I hear the cry of every longing heart, \"Worthy is the Lamb.\" And I will rise when He calls my name no more sorrow, no more pain. I will rise on eagles' wings: Before my God fall on my knees and rise. I will rise. Wartburg Choir and Plymouth ChoirWe Shall Overcome - American freedom song/ arr.
