a celebration of the saints. |

Performed by the choir of St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall,
St Magnus Festival Chorus and the Orkney Junior County
Choir.
Shout for Joy includes:
God we praise you; Baptised in water; Like fireworks in
the night; O holy dove of God descending; Take and eat;
Now through the grace of God we claim; One is the body;
Jesus putes this song into our hearts; Is it spooky?;
Come to us Creative Spirit; For everyone born; Halleluia,
we sing your praises; You are called to tell the story;
When we are living; I have a dream a man once said; Holy
Spirit come confirm us; Thanks to God; Soon and very soon;
May the God of peace go with us.
A taste of the Church Hymnary includes:
God we praise you; Mayenziwe; Halle, halle, hallelujah;
Praise, I will praise you; Have you heard the raindrops;
I am the Church; Jesus loves me!; No wind at the window;
Blessing and honour; Be still for the presence of the
Lord; Come, now is the time to worship; Thou hidden love
of God; ong long O Lord will you forget; O God you are
my God alone; God weeps; People look east; Let's sing
unto the Lord; Your love O God; Lord of life we come to
you.
