Foreword
Welcome to tonight’s Song offerings. These are songs of the greatest Love, and songs of the ultimate Sacrifice. We sing of the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys, a garden of spices, an orchard of pomegranates, the apple-tree in the wood, and a world so beloved that a Life was given. We sing of the falcon and the knight, the lion and the unicorn, the pelican and the hydra – medieval metaphors for the resurrected Christ. We sing of the slaughtered Lamb and of a Mother’s sorrow, we sing of the solemn joy on Easter morn. Inviting the North Wind to reanimate our souls, we Sing.
