I’ve written a chorus based not on this Sunday’s texts, but on readings from the Assumption: the Beatitude in Luke 11:28 (Still happier those who hear the word of God and keep it) and some thoughts from the readings 1 Cor 15:54-57 and 1 Chronicles 16:1-2. They made me think of music ministry and liturgy being the work of the people.
Blessed are you who hear the word of the Lord.
Blessed are you who keep the word of the Lord.
Death for you has no sting.
Joyful songs you will sing.
Blessed are you who do the work of the Lord.
