Here's the text:
"Let me depart this life
Confiding in my Savior;
By grace receive my soul
That it may live forever;
And let my body have
A quiet resting place
Within a Christian grave;
And let it sleep in peace.
And on that final day
When all the dead are waking,
Stretch out Your mighty hand,
My deathly slumber breaking.
Then let me hear Your voice,
Redeem this earthly frame,
And bid me to rejoice
With those who love Your name."

And one ex-college kid. :) Thanks for posting this!
Very nice! The clarinetist did a great job, too. The accoustics in your church are lovely.
I love to see high school students singing these hymns in harmony.
(And are the woodwinds I hear live instruments being played? Beautiful!) Almost all the children in our church (mine included) grow up singing and are in the choir at some point.
Also, I loved hearing the harmonies being sung by the congregation!
We're still working on that, but like I said with the kids all learning, at some point they will be the parents SINGING IN HARMONY!
I need a "Like" button.
The acapella verse sent chills up my spine!
