Psalm:  Psalm 95 - link1 (old version of psalm updated to current translation and using psalm tones) OR link2 (version written in 2017).  The choir will be able to choose the version they prefer.  If you'd like to hear what they sound like (as played by the music composition software) links to the midi files follow.  I recommend downloading the files and playing them on your device rather than opening them in the browser and using the application they suggest for playing them.  The easiest way to do this is (in Windows anyway) is to right mouse click the link and then select "Save Link As".  Here are the midi file links  - old version OR new version.  Both versions consist of the refrain played through once, followed by the psalm tones.

Response:  O that today you would listen to the voice of the Lord.  Do not harden your hearts!

The following is my understanding of how the liturgy will work on Sunday morning based on the write up in the Living With Christ Sunday Missal for this Feast.  The details still need to be confirmed with Fr. Beachey.  The congregation will be invited into the Parish Hall.  While candles are being lit, we will sing CBW 394 The Light of Christ (Christmas Verses 4 & 5) with Grace leading on her guitar.  There will then be some prayers and remarks by Fr. Beachey.  Then everyone will process back into the church while we sing GP 723 - Glory and Praise to Our God (Verses 1-3).  Grace will again be leading on her guitar.
