Gloria / Randol Alan Bass
| “Glória in excélsis Deo et in terra pax homínibus bonæ voluntátis. Laudámus te, benedícimus te, adorámus te, glorificámus te, grátias ágimus tibi propter magnam glóriam tuam, Dómine Deus, Rex cæléstis, Deus Pater omnípotens. Dómine Fili Unigénite, Iesu Christe, Dómine Deus, Agnus Dei, Fílius Patris, qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére nobis; qui tollis peccáta mundi, súscipe deprecatiónem nostram. Qui sedes ad déxteram Patris, miserére nobis. Quóniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dóminus, tu solus Altíssimus, Iesu Christe, cum Sancto Spíritu: in glória Dei Patris. Amen.” | “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.” |
Star Spangled Banner / Francis Scott Key, arr. SFC Dan Campolieta
“O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
Everyone Sang / SFC Dan Campolieta
“Everyone suddenly burst out singing;
And I was filled with such delight
As prisoned birds must find in freedom,
Winging wildly across the white
Orchards and dark-green fields; on - on - and out of sight.
Everyone's voice was suddenly lifted;
And beauty came like the setting sun:
My heart was shaken with tears; and horror
Drifted away ... O, but Everyone
Was a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will never be done.”
Still, Still With Thee / Fred Gramann
SFC Jenna Taylor, flute / SSG Esther Kang / SFC Dan Campolieta, organ
“Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness I am with Thee.
Alone with Thee amid the mystic shadows,
The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee in breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.
Still, still with Thee! as to each newborn morning
A fresh and solemn splendor still is given,
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.
So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee.”
Wohl mir, dass ich Jesum habe / Johann Sebastian Bach
SFC Dan Campolieta, organ
“Wohl mir, daß ich Jesum habe, O wie feste halt' ich ihn, Daß er mir mein Herze labe, Wenn ich krank und traurig bin. Jesum hab' ich, der mich liebet Und sich mir zu eigen giebet; Ach drum laß' ich Jesum nicht, Wenn mir gleich mein Herze bricht.” | “How good for me that I have Jesus, Oh, how I firmly hold onto him Because he refreshes my heart When I am sick and sad. I have Jesus, who loves me And gives himself to me for his own; Oh, therefore I will not leave Jesus Even if my heart breaks.” |
I Am the Rose of Sharon / Ivo Antognini
“I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood
So is my beloved among the sons
I sat down under his shadow with great delight
And his fruit was sweet to my taste
He brought me to the banqueting house
His banner over me was love
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples:
For I am sick of love
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem
By the roes, and by the hinds of the fiеld
That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till hе please”
Grow Old With You / Adam Sandler
The U.S. Army Barbershop Quartet
“I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice growin old with you
I'll miss you, kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you, feed you
I'll even let you hold the remote control
So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you have fallen asleep
Oh I could be the man to grow old with you
I wanna grow old with you”
The Stars and Stripes Forever / John Philip Sousa
The U.S. Army Barbershop Quartet
Unfurl the banner and raise it to the sky
Let eagle cry from mountain high
The never-ending watchword of our nation
Now behold this gem of old
The wonder of the western sky
The emblem of the brave and true
The flag of our liberty, flag of our destiny
Red and white and starry blue
Stream out of the banner so high
Every heart will sing a part
As all across the land we raise our voices
Far and near, for all to hear
The echo of a chorus grand
Every heart will swell with pride
To sing of our liberty, sing of our destiny
As with joy we now extol
The flag waving over the land
Let us all hail the flag in one accord
Let us cheer it with fervid elation
It's the flag of the martyrs gone before
It's the flag of flags, the banner of our nation
It's a beacon for all who share our dream
Of a new day without domination
It's the hope of the peoples now oppressed
And a symbol of their own emancipation
Hooray for the flag of the free
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea
Ever hoist it proud and high (Let the banner fly)
All nations remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right, it waves forever
Every time the people hear the bell of freedom calling (Calling)
Calling one and all
Every living patriotic citizen will answer (Answer)
Answer freedom's call
Everywhere the bold and gallant souls
Come forth to bear the cross of duty
Rising up as one to fight and die
Behind the flag of freedom's beauty
Patriotic hearts will falter never
Following the stars and stripes forever
Marching to the quest, to east or west
They quell distress, the freed oppressed cry out
Hooray for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea
Ever hoist it proud and high (Let the banner fly)
All nations remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray, as they marched to the fray
"Defended by our might, ever standing for the right, it waves forever!"
Fix You/Happy / Coldplay/Pharrell Williams
SSG Virginia Lafean, SFC Leslie Ostransky, SSG Matthew Burke / SSG Keaton Webb
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
It might seem crazy what I am 'bout to say
Sunshine, she's here you can take a break
I'ma hot air balloon that could go to space,
With the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way,
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
Here come bad news, talking this and that (talk, yeah)
Well, give me all you got and don't hold back (yeah)
Well, I should probably warn you, I'll be just fine (yeah)
No offense to you, don't waste your time, here's why
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
bring me down, can't nothin'
(Happy) bring me down, my level's too high
(Happy) to bring me down, can't nothin'
(Happy) bring me down, I said (let me tell you now),
can't nothin', uh
(Happy, happy), bring me down (happy, happy), my level's too high
(Happy, happy) to bring me down (happy, happy), can't nothin'
(Happy, happy) bring me down, I said
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like (uh) that's what you wanna do
Pure Imagination / Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, arr. Ben Bram and Tehillah Alphonso
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

Come to the water
The water will flow
Stand to the night
See the light, let it grow
Hold on, for hard winds
Are starting to blow –
Stand up, hold on
And swear you won't let go
Whatever I said doesn’t matter
Whatever you said doesn't hurt
Whatever we meant
And whatever we did
Is lost in the water
Whatever I felt I've forgotten
Whatever I planned I released
But come take my hand
Come down to the water
Come down to the water
Where people are coming together
And people are falling apart
And no one can hide –
We’re caught in the tide
And punched in the heart
And people are harder than diamonds
People are stronger than knives
We breathe and we burn
But we'll never return
For the rest of our lives
For the rest of our lives
People are coming together
Hold on
People are coming together
Come down to the water
Come down to the water
Where people are coming together
And people are falling apart
We're branded and blind
And we try to rewind
To reset and restart
And people are louder than fire
And people are stronger than knives
We'll pick up the slack
But we'll never go back
For the rest of our lives
For the rest of our lives…
People are coming together
Hold on
People are coming together
Come to the water
The water will flow
Stand to the night
See the light, let it grow
Hold on, for hard winds
Are starting to blow –
Stand up! Stand up!
Hold on! Hold on!
People are coming together
People are coming together
People are coming together
People are coming together
All across the water!
Stand up, hold on
Stand up, hold on
Stand up, hold on…
And swear you won't let go
A Hebrew Prayer / Dan Campolieta
Though our mouths should overflow with song as the sea,
Our tongues with melody as the roaring waves,
Our lips with praise as the heavens’ wide expanse;
And though our eyes were to shine as the sun and the moon,
Our arms extend like eagle’s wings,
Our feet speed swiftly as deer,
Still we could not fully thank you,
O our God, Still we could not fully thank you,
God of all ages, or bless your name enough for even one of your infinite kindnesses,
To our ancestors and to us.
Unclouded Day / J.K. Alwood, arr. Shawn Kirchner
Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies,
Oh, they tell me of a home far away;
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day.
Oh, the land of cloudless day,
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky,
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day.
Oh, they tell me of a home where my friends have gone,
Oh, they tell me of that land far away,
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance through the unclouded day.
Oh, they tell me of a King in His beauty there,
And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow,
In the city that is made of gold.
Oh, they tell me that He smiles on His children there,
And His smile drives their sorrows all away;
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of unclouded day.
Armed Forces Salute
Battle Hymn of the Republic / Julia Ward Howe
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
Chorus:
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
Chorus
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
“As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.”
Chorus
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Chorus
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Chorus
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Chorus
