In reply to Mary.

I grew up with “The Old Rugged Cross” in our Presbyterian church. I would never have thought of it for liturgy.

Thanks for posting.

Our Palm Sunday line-up: African community leading this week.

Ent: Hosanna – Carl Tuttle

No psalm, no one knew a setting

PoG: Take our Bread (Joe Wise)

Comm: The Old Rugged Cross – George Bennard (1873-1958)
(Not a song I’d ever contemplated for liturgy before coming to Ireland. But both the Irish and the Africans use it around Easter Week)

Here is my parish music…

Procession in the Church: Palm Sunday Procession (Walker)
We started using this last year. To keep it simple for the congregation, we do the following:
– verse 1 as the refrain
– refrain is sung 4 times at start and between verses
– other ‘verses’ are sung by the cantor as verses
– verse 1 coda at end of final refrain

Psalm: My God, My God (Haugen)

Response to Passion: Glory in the Cross (Easter version) – verse 1 & refrain

POG: Passion Chorale – quiet music

Communion: Now We Remain (Haas)

Sending Forth: Jesus, Remember Me (Berthier)
