Soprano Solo—(a) My Redeemer and My Lord
Dudley Buck




My Redeemer and my Lord,
I beseech Thee, I entreat Thee,
Guide me in each act and word,
That hereafter I may meet Thee,
Watching waiting, hoping, yearning,
With my lamp well trimmed and burning!
Interceding
With these bleeding
Wounds upon Thy hands and side,
For all who have lived and erred
Thou hast suffered, Thou hast died
Scourged, and mocked, and crucified,
And in the grave hast Thou been buried!
If my feeble prayer can reach Thee,
O my Saviour, I beseech Thee,
Even as Thou hast died for me,
More sincerely
Let me follow where Thou leadest.
Let me, bleeding as Thou bleedest,
Die, if dying I may give
Life to one who asks to live,
And more nearly,
Dying thus, resemble Thee!
—Poem by H. W. LONGFELLOW.

Soprano Solo— (b) Adore and Be Still
Gounod




High heaven hath stooped to earth so lowly,
God's glory doth my bosom fill!
Oh, wondrous love, oh, presence holy,
Trembling soul, adore and be still!
Fleeting love of this earth excelling
Is God's love so freely given
In my heart hath He made His dwelling,
Who is the Lord of earth and heaven?
High heaven hath stooped to earth so lowly,
God's glory doth my bosom fill!
Oh, wondrous love, oh, presence holy,
Trembling soul, adore and be still!
Bright in my soul new love now gloweth,
Pure love that from Thine own takes birth,
And my every thought heavenward floweth,
Seeking its home no more on earth!
High heaven hath stooped to earth so lowly,
God's glory doth my bosom fill!
Oh, wondrous love, oh, presence holy
Trembling soul, adore and be still!
—Words by COUNT A. DE SEGUR.

Soprano Solo—(a) Beautiful Roses
Carroll and Friedland




I know a garden of roses,
That are kissed every morn by the dew,
And to this garden of roses
I must go when I'm longing for you.
Each pretty rose says, you love me,
Each petal says, you're true;
For love is a part of the roses,
And love is the heart of you
Roses, roses, fragrant roses,
Say you love me!
Roses of love, sent from above,
Each tiny bloom is holding the perfume of love,
Beautiful, beautiful roses,
They are part of your heart, and your soul.
Each pretty flower encloses
All the love you have sent to console.
Roses of red breathe of Passion,
Roses of white breathe of Love;
Beautiful roses, beautiful roses,
When we're apart, they bring you to my heart,
Beautiful roses are you!
—By CARROLL AND FRIEDLAND.




8.
Soprano Solo— (b) Where Blossoms Grow
Sans Souci




Where blossoms grow
And winds are low,
And brooks run lightly by;
There would we be, 'neath the greenwood tree,
With the birds so free,
'Neath the greenwood tree, there would we be,
My love and I.
—Words by JOHN VANCE CHENEY.
