Squeezebox is a place for our Song Leaders, as well as congregants, to learn the songs we sing at St. Lydia\u2019s.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Epiphany is a season that gives us a little time to bask in the glow of Christmas before Lent sets in. \u00a0It means “to reveal,” and focuses on all the way God is revealed to us through Christ. \u00a0It’s usually associated with light. \u00a0This season we’ll be singing some songs that reflect the darkness of the winter, but also bring a \u00a0bit of light in to shine in that darkness.<\/p>\n

The season takes us through about eight weeks this year, so we’ll sing one set of songs for the first half of the season, then switch to a new set for the second.<\/p>\n

January 2-February 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gathering Song<\/span><\/p>\n

“Arise, Shine<\/a>,” by Ruth Cunningham. \u00a0A lively, two-part setting of Isaiah 60:1, a text commonly associated with Epiphany.<\/p>\n

Lamp Lighting Song<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Light of Christ Has Come into the World<\/a>,” by Donald Fishel. \u00a0It\u2019s a sweet piece with two parts, one to teach to the congregation, and then one you can sing yourself over the top. \u00a0Note that the second part is not a pure echo of the first, but changes a little at the end!<\/p>\n

Table Acclamation<\/span><\/p>\n

During Epiphany, we’ll use the Ordinary Time Table Acclamation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prayer Song<\/span><\/p>\n

Song Leader’s choice! \u00a0A selection of prayer songs may be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Final Hymn<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll sing \u201cSongs of Thankfulness and Praise<\/a>!\u201d \u00a0Sheet music is\u00a0here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

February 9-March 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gathering Song<\/span><\/p>\n

“Come All, Draw Near and Eat,” by Mark Howe. \u00a0This is a very <\/em>difficult piece. \u00a0It’s a great challenge for those who feel they’d like to take one one. \u00a0But if not, feel free to stick with “Arise, Shine,” above.\u00a0 Here<\/a> is a recording, and sheet music is found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lamp Lighting Song<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll sing a new piece entitled “God Give me Light in My Heart,” adapted from a song of the same title by\u00a0Anne Krentz Organ. \u00a0It’s a simple melody — teach it and let folks harmonize. \u00a0Here’s the recording<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Table Acclamation<\/span><\/p>\n

During Epiphany, we’ll use the Ordinary Time Table Acclamation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prayer Song<\/span><\/p>\n

Song Leader’s choice! \u00a0A selection of prayer songs may be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Final Hymn<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll sing an old traditional shapenote piece called “All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly.” \u00a0You can listen to a recording with all the part here<\/a> — and let me tell you, they’re trickier than they look! \u00a0The sheet music is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
