  Ecce, Deus 

    Canticle 9, BCP Pg 86

Surely 

it 

is  

God 

who 

saves 

me, I 

will 

trust 

in 

him 

and 

not 

be 

afraid

Grant, we pray,

to all who are touch-

ed by the power of music, such glimpses of eternity that we may join with your saints in heaven &

at last, behold your glory unveiled forevermore
