John 12:25 [Latin]

25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam aeternam custodit eam.

Philippians 4:4-7

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

Let your moderation [“softness” in music text] be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Rejoice in the Lord alway (mid-16th century), “Attributed (probably incorrectly) to John Redford” (CPDL)

Rejoice in the Lord alway

Performed by the Greenwich Village Chamber Singers
