Adult Choir
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;
make music to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
shout for joy before the LORD, the KING.
Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands,
let the mountains sing together for joy.
Psalms 98
ST. AGNES ADULT CHOIR: Parishioners are invited to join
Music accompanies our most joyful celebrations and comforts us in our greatest sorrows. The act of singing together enables us to be one, to breathe together the breath of God.
For millennia our ancestors have sung in choirs praising God. At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, as described in Nehemiah 12, they celebrated joyfully with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of cymbals, harps, lyres and trumpets. The account describes two large choirs singing praises from the top of the wall. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
