"O Christ, I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament, and, since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart. I unite myself with you and embrace you with all my heart, my soul, and my mind. Let nothing separate me from you; let me serve you in this life until, by your grace, I come to your glorious kingdom and unending peace. Amen."

Outstanding opener from cantor Rebekah Gilmore. Perfection. Pleasantly familiar Psalm 46 and Canticle 'The First Song of Isaiah', reminding me of past times. 'Asperges me, Domine' beautifully sung. What a gorgeous lead into the proclamation of Easter. If I don't get chills at at this point I would seek medical attention! Joyous. Some challenging anthems; they don't make it easy for the young singers! But then that's how they grow and Rebekah should be proud of her work. 'Salvation is Created' and 'Cantate Domino', well sung. Particularly enjoyed 'Since by man came death' from The Messiah. A final hymn bring back more memories of Easter. Ending perfectly with Mr Stuntebeck delivering a properly paced Toccata! Thanks to all for this.
