Repertoire Lyrics
Take This Gift by Tracey Wong
My feet are rooted to the ground (la la li la lay)
My voice is soaring in the skies (la la li la)
I am tied to the past, beautifully tangled with you
Hand in hand we look to the stars
Here, take this gift
It’s not mine to keep
Here, take this gift
Share it far so all may know
Let our love for singing grow
We are branches
Independent, intertwined
We are sunlight
Spreading warmth, dazzling bright
Here, take this gift
It’s not mine to keep
Here, take this gift
Share it far so all may know
Let our love for singing grow.
Benediction by Norton
Go out into the world in peace,
Have courage, hold on to what is good
Return to no one evil for evil, strengthen the fainthearted
Support the weak, help the suffering
Honor all beings
Amen
I Dream A World by Rollo Dilworth
I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!
Hope Lingers On by Andrea Ramsey
My mother, when love is gone
My mother, when love is gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
My father, when peace is gone
My father, when peace is gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
I will not hate and I will not fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here
My sister, when equality’s gone
My sister, when equality’s gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
My brother, with tolerance gone
My brother, with tolerance gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
I will not hate and I will not fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here
My love, when honor is gone
My love, when honor is gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
My country, when justice is gone
My country, when justice is gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
I will not and I will fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here
I will not and I will fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here

Allá viene, allá viene el temporal Temporal, temporal Allá viene el temporal. Que será de Puerto Rico Cuando llegue el temporal? Que será de mi Borinquen* Cuando llegue el temporal? Se levanta el pueblo Al son de los tambores No nos tumba el viento Ni diez mil temblores Somos resilientes, Somos luchadores No nos tumba el viento Ni diez mil temblores

There comes! There comes the storm! Storm, storm There comes the storm What will become of Puerto Rico When the storm arrives What will become of my Puerto Rico When the storm arrives The people arise To the rhythm of the drums The wind cannot bring us down Nor ten thousand earthquakes We are resilient We are warriors The wind cannot bring us down Nor ten thousand earthquakes

I Will Not Leave You Comfortless by Everett Titacomb
I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you yet again. Alleluia. And your heart shall be joyful. Alleluia.

Prelude by Ola Gjeilo
Cause Us, O Lord by Ron Nelson Cause us, o lord our God, To lie down each night in peace, And to awaken to a renewed life and strength Hear our prayer o Lord And to awaken to a renewed life and strength Lord help us to order our lives by thy council Lead us in the paths of righteousness Lord, be thou a shield about us, protect us Save our world from sorrow, from hate, and from war Curb thou within us the will to do evil Shelter beneath us the shadow of thy wings Amen |
