“O Lord, Hear My Voice Today” from Thank You God JOHN BURGE (b. 1961) – a Children’s Prayer Cycle This work was commissioned by the Glen Ellyn Children’s Chorus, and the children in the chorus were asked to submit prayers to the composer for consideration as text. Some forty prayers were submitted, and he interestingly noted that the underlying theme in the prayers was gratitude and appreciation. He chose eight prayers to use in the cycle and set them for chorus and orchestra. “O Lord, Hear My Voice Today” is the first song in the cycle. We have interspersed some of our favorite scriptures on “trusting” within the song. O Lord, Hear My Voice Today. Please take all my fear away. Hold my hand as now I pray. Help me trust you more each day. Psalm 25:1,4,5 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul, in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. John 14:1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. Isaiah 12:2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid; The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

Sing Joyfully WILLIAM BYRD (1543-1623) Sing joyfully unto God our strength. Sing loud unto the God of Jacob. Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp and the viol.

RANDALL STROOPE (b.1953) Till There Was You MEREDITH WILLSON (1902-1984) ARR. KIRBY SHAW There were bells on the hill, but I never heard them ringing. No, I never heard them at all till there was you. There were birds in the sky, but I never saw them winging. No, I never saw them at all till there was you. And there was music and there were wonderful roses, they tell me, In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew. There was love all around, but I never heard it singing. No, I never heard it at all till there was you. – Meredith Willson IV God Be In My Head JOHN RUTTER (b.1945) God be in my head and in my understanding. God be in mine eyes and in my looking. God be in my mouth and in my speaking. God be in mine heart and in my thinking. God be at my end and in my departing. – Old English Prayer KANTOREI Offering for music ensemble tours and brief intermission
