Offertory Anthem He shall lead his flock from Messiah George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Text: Isaiah 40:11, Matthew 11:28-29
and he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young.
Come unto him, all ye that labor,
come unto him that are heavy laden, and he will give you rest.
Take his yoke upon you, and learn of him, for he is meek and lowly of heart,
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Communion Anthem Panis Angelicus César Franck (1822-1890)
Text: St. Thomas Aquinas
Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat panis cœlicus
figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
pauper, servus et humilis.
Te trina Deitas
unaque poscimus:
Sic nos tu visita,
sicut te colimus;
Per tuas semitas
duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
Amen.
Thus Angels’ Bread is made
the Bread of man today:
the Living Bread from heaven
with figures dost away:
O wondrous gift indeed!
the poor and lowly may
upon their Lord and Master feed.
Thee, therefore, we implore,
o Godhead, One in Three,
so may Thou visit us
as we now worship Thee;
and lead us on Thy way,
That we at last may see
the light wherein Thou dwellest aye.
Amen.
