Music in Worship: Sunday, September 9, 2018 Introit: Jubilate Deo (Giovanni Gabrieli, 1892-1983)Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; servite Domino in laetitia. Introite in conspectu ejus in exsultatione.Scitote quoniam Dominus ipse est Deus; ipse fecit nos, et non ipsi nos:populus ejus, et oves pascuae ejus.Introite portas ejus in confessione; atria ejus in hymnis:confitemini illi. Laudate nomen ejus,quoniam suavis est Dominus: in aeternum misericordia ejus,et usque in generationem et generationem veritas ejus.
O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands:serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise;be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting;and his truth endureth from generation to generation.
––Psalm 100
Anthem: Psalm 43 (Felix Mendelssohn, 1809-47)Richte mich, Gott, und führe meine Sache wider das unheilige Volk, und errette mich von den falschen und bösen Leuten. Denn du bist der Gott, du bist der Gott meiner Stärke; warum verstössest du mich? Warum lässest du mich so traurig geh’n, wenn mein Feind mich drängt? Sende dein Licht und deine Wahrheit, dass sie mich leiten zu deinem heili-gen Berge, und zu deiner Wohnung. Dass ich hinein gehe zum Altar Gottes, zu dem Gott, der meine Freude und Wonne ist, und dir, Gott, auf der Harfe danke, mein Gott. Was betrübst du dich, meine Seele, und bist so unruhig in mir? Harre auf Gott! denn ich werde ihm noch danken, dass er meines Ange-sichts Hülfe, und mein Gott ist. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O de-liver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my counte-nance, and my God.
Music notes will return on September 23.
