1st Sunday of Advent - Prepare !


If today was your last day on earth would you be proud of what you had achieved ? Would you be ready to meet your maker ? This was the challenge posed by Father Mark on this our first sunday in advent. It was also a musical challenge in that we used plenty of new material. In a change from last year, rather than light the advent candle (which is fortunately or unfortunately not in Laudate) we sang 'In truth we seek' (http://www.myspace.com/holytrinitychoirboy), a choirboy composition that we used for our lenten journey ('This promise is for you'). Finally in a liturgical first, Father Mark sang the Concluding Rite written by choirboy. Although slightly aprehensive and with the beginnings of a cold, he managed to sing almost perfectly - we look forward to hearing this again during our season of advent.
Entry The truth we seek
In hope and love, the truth we seek. The truth we find in You (repeat)
In Jesus we shall find, the message of eternal life.
In hope and love, the truth we seek. The truth we find in You (repeat)
Part i) Jesus..
Part ii) In hope and love, the truth we seek. The truth we find in You (repeat)
Repeat from beginning until final part below
In hope and love, the truth we seek. The truth we find in You (repeat).
Jesus
