Singing the Sacraments: First Eucharist

The next piece in Fiona Dyball and Damian Whelan’s presentation related to Eucharist and First Eucharist in particular.

They pointed to CWB II 115-118 which is:

115 Jesus calls us to his table (Jennifer O’Brien)

116 Jesus, you are bread for us also AOV 1/42 sheet music

117 Take and Eat (Maggie Russell) also AOV 2/162 sheet music

118 Given for You (Michael Mangan) also in Setting Hearts on Fire.

They once again turn to Michael Herry’s archive of psalms with their suggestion of Psalm 33:

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord,

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Beyond those in CWB II they recommend:

Come to the Table (John Burland) AOV NG 33 sheet music – a well known winner

Bread Broken, Wine Shared ( Robyn Horner) AOV 2/155 sheet music – a less well known delight

Our Blessing Cup AOV 1/7 (Bob Hurd) sheet music

I would add don’t overlook Paul Mason’s setting of Psalm 115 for this and Frank Andersen’s “This Blessing Cup“. sheet music

Table of Life (Erica Marshall) sheet music (My backing is the two verses in the sample)

These four posts so far cover about half of a presentation that was less than an hour – not kidding.
