OK, so the Christmas program is not in stone yet, but we did decide on Thanksgiving. The Earth Is the Lord's by Carl Nygard. The text is adapted from Psalm 24, with a simple melody, a 4-part middle section, and ending with the melody augmented by echoing alleluia's. Click here to hear a very nice amateur performance. Here is the text:
The Earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof.
All creatures who live on the Earth are the Lord's.
For who can rightly ascend the hill of the Lord,
And who may enter His house to hear His word?
The pure in heart and hand.
Such are the people of God, who understand.
The Earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof.
