Let Evening Come Music: Gwyneth Walker
Text: Jane Kenyon
Let the light of late afternoon
shine through chinks in the barn, moving
up the bales as the sun moves down.
as a woman takes up her needles
and her yarn. Let evening come.
Let dew collect on the hoe abandoned
in long grass. Let the stars appear
and the moon disclose her silver horn.
Let the fox go back to its sandy den.
Let the wind die down. Let the shed
go black inside. Let evening come.
To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop
in the oats, to air in the lung
let evening come.
Let it come, as it will; and don't
be afraid. God does not leave us comfortless,
so let evening come.
Two Love Songs Music: Robert H. Young
I, For Thy Sweet Love Text: William Shakespeare
When in disgrace with fortune and mens eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate, .
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess??~d,
Desiring this man??Ts art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,??"-and then my state

2. Drinking Song Text: John Still
Back and side go bare, both foot and hand go cold;
: But, belly, God send thee good ale enough, whether it be new or old.
I cannot eat but little meat, my stomach is not good;
But sure I think that I can drink with him that wears a hood,
Though I go bare, take ye no care I am nothing a coldT
I stuff my skin so full within of jolly good ale and old.
I love no roast but a nut-brown toast, and a crab laid in the fire,
A little bread shall do me stead, much bread I no desire.
No frost nor snow, no wind I trow, can hurt me if I would,
I am so wrapt and thoughly lapt of jolly good ale and old.
And Tib, my wife, that as her life loveth well good ale to seek,
_ Full oft drinks she, till ye may see the tears run down her cheek.
Then doth she trowl to me the bowl, ev'n as a maltworm should;
- And saith ~Sweetheart, I've take part of this jolly good ale and old
Now let them drink till they nod and wink, even as good fellows should,
They shall not miss to have the bliss good ale doth bring men to.
And all poor souls that have scoured black bowls, or have them lustily trowled,
God save the lives of them and their wives whether they be young or old.
Jeremy Jones, conductor

5. Whether men do laugh or weep
: ~ RossetterTs Book of Airs
Whether men do laugh or weep, whether they do wake or sleep,
Whether they die young or old, whether they feel heat or cold,
There is underneath the sun nothing in true earnest done.
All our pride is but a jest. None are worst and none are best.
Vain opinion all doth sway, and the world is but a play.

ear My Prayer Music: Felix Mendelssohn
Text: W. Bartholomew
Hear my prayer, or God incline Thine ear!
Thyself from my petition do not hide!
Take heed to me! Hear how in prayer I mourn to Thee!
Without Thee all is dark, I have no guide.
The enemy shouteth, the godless come fast!
Iniquity, hatred, upon me they cast!
The wicked oppress me, Ah where shall I fly?
Perplexed and bewildered, O God, hear my cry!
My heart is sorely paind within my breast,
My soul with deathly terror is oppressed,
Trembling and fearfulness upon me fall,
With horror overwhelm'd, Lord hear me call!
O for the wings of a dove!
Far away would I rove!
In the wilderness build me a nest,
And remain there forever at rest.
Karen Hall, soprano

Text: Traditional African-American Spiritual
/ov vp ~T hear music in the air. I can feel it in the ait
~There must be a God somewhere.
113150 _ Over my head I hear music in the air.
Over my head I hear singing in the air.
I go this music down in my soul;
and it fills my heart with the joy of the Lord!
T've got joy " I've got joy everlasting!
I've got peace " I've got peace everlasting!
T've got love " I've got love everlasting!
Oh, yes, I got joy in my heart; joy today!
Do you love the Lord?
I love the Lord!

A Song of Songs Musi ae
Text: Ralph Waldo Emerson -
Let me go whereTer I will,
I bear a sky-born music still:
It sounds from all things old,
It sounds from alll things young,
From all thatTs fair, from alll thatTs foul,
Peals our a cheerful song,
It is not only in the rose,
It is not only in the bird,
Not only where the rainbow
Nor in the song of woman heard,
But in the darkest, meanest things
There alway, alway something sings.
~T is not in the high stars alone,
Nor in the p of budding flowers,
Nor in the wedi mellow tone,
Nor in the bow that smiles in showers,
But in the darkest, meanest things
There alway, alway something sings.

Are you goinT to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, Sage, rosemary and thyme.
me to one who lives there.
She was once a true love of mine.
Bid her make me a cambric shirt,
Sewn without seams or fine needlework,
If she would be a true love of mine.
Have him find me an acre of land,
Lying between seafoam and seasand,
Or he'll not be a true love of mine.
Tell him to plough it with a lambTs horn,
And sew it well with one Peppercorn,
Ere he be a true love of mine.
When at last he has finished his work.
He'll come to claim his cambric shirt,
And ever be a true love of mine.

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
- That then I scorn to change my state with kingsT.

Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
as a seal upon thine arm.
For love is strong as death.
