Worship we The Godhead, Love incarnate, Love Divine; worship we our Jesus, but wherewith for sacred sign? Love shall be our token, love be yours and love be mine; love to God and oThers, love for plea and gift and sign. -Christina Rossetti

An earthly tree a heavenly fruit it bear, A case of clay contained a crown immortal. A crown of crowns, a King whose cost and care Redeemed poor man, whose race before was thrall To death, to doom, to pains of everlasting, By His sweet death, scorns, stripes, and often fasting. A star above The stars, a sun of light, Whose blessed beams this wretched earth bespread With hope of heaven and of God's Son The sight, Which in our flesh and sinful soul lay dead. O faith, O hope, O joys renowned for ever, O lively life that deathless shall persevere. Then let us sing The lullabys of sleep To this sweet babe, born to awake us all From drowsy sin that made old Adam weep, And by his fault gave to mankind The fall. For lo! this day, The birth day, day of days, Summons our songs to give Him laud and praise.  less

Video recreated in honour of The composer Vidi una porta, e tre gradi di sotto per gire ad essa, di color diversi, e un portier ch' ancor non facea motto. [I saw a portal, and three stairs beneath, Diverse in colour, to go up to it, And a gate-keeper, who yet spake no word] Poi pinse l' uscio a la porta sacrata, dicendo: "Intrate; ma facciovi accorti che di fuor torna chi ' n dietro si guata" [Then pushed The portals Of The sacred door, Exclaiming: “Enter; but I give you warning That forth returns whoever looks behind.”] Io mi rivolsi attento al primo tuono, e ' Te Deum laudamus' mi parea udire in voce mista al dolce suono. [At The first thunder-peal I turned attentive, And _”Te Deum laudamus”_ seemed to hear In voices mingled with sweet melody.]  less

The recording is taken from Exultate Singers' new album, A Sense of The Divine, to be released in December 2013 and was recorded in St George's Bristol MoTher of God, here I stand now praying before this ikon of your radiant brightness, not praying to be saved from a battlefield; not giving thanks nor seeking forgiveness for The sings of my soul, nor for all The souls. Numb, joyless and desolate on earth; but for her alone, whom I wholly give you.  less
