• Anthem: The Truth from Above – English traditional carol, arr. Robert Gower

This is the truth sent from above, The truth of God, the God of love,
Therefore don’t turn me from your door, But hearken all both rich and poor.
The first thing which I do relate Is that God did man create;
The next thing which to you I’ll tell – Woman was made with man to dwell.

Thus we were heirs to endless woes, Till God the Lord did interpose;
And so a promise soon did run That he would redeem us by his Son.
And at that season of the year Our blest Redeemer did appear;
He here did live, And here did preach, and many thousands he did teach.
Thus he in love to us behaved, To show us how we must be saved;
And if you want to know the way,
Be pleased to hear what he did say.
