Westminster Carol

The chancel choir will lift "Westminster Carol" for this week anthem.
I will be in Indiana with my family to attend a graduation assessment during this weekend even though Jason and I have one more thing to complete the degree. The school allows doctorate students who passed all those qualifying exam to walk at the ceremony.

Gracefully, Sally Reeves will lead the music during the services. Thank you Sally!!

Here is the text of the carol. Let's praise with the choir on Sunday!

Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains.
And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo. Shepherds why this jubilee, Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be which inspire this heavenly song.
Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord the newborn King.
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
