Happy International Women's Day! Selah has published over a 100 women authors and composers and have done so since our very first publication, but the Sarah MacDonald Choral Series is a conscious effort to more widely distribute these excellent composer's compositions! And more to be added this year!

Church Music News -- New R. Leach hymnary/Ash Wednesday -

02/05/2024

One of our most-used hymns is this extraordinary text by Rae Whitney for Ash Wednesday (February 14 this year)

Sunday’s palms are Wednesday’s ashes
as another Lent begins;
thus we kneel before our Maker
in contrition for our sins.
We have marred baptismal pledges,
in rebellion, gone astray;
now, returning, seek forgiveness;
grant us pardon, Lord, this day!

We have failed to love our neighbors,
their offences to forgive,
have not listened to their troubles
nor have cared just how they live;
we are jealous, proud, impatient,
loving (overmuch) our things;
may the yielding of our failings
be our Lenten offerings.

We are hasty to judge others,
blind to proof of human need;
and our lack of understanding
demonstrates our inner greed;
we have wasted earth’s resources;
want and suffering we’ve ignored;
come and cleanse us, then restore us;
make new hearts within us, Lord!

--Rae E. Whitney, 1982.

This text comes from the Ash Wednesday tradition of marking each person’s forehead with the ashes from burnt Palm crosses.

Happy Epiphany!

Light born from Light, to give us Light,
came as a child to make things right;
his promised name Emmanuel,
gave proof that God had come to dwell.

He was no transient visitor,
since our own mortal flesh he bore.
he listened, taught, and healed and cared;
our joys he knew, our pains he shared.
. .
Lord, with your Light, invade each soul,
and make our wounded nature whole;
then, by your Spirit's grace, may we
part of your Risen Body be!

Rae E Whitney, 2002, partly based on "O Nata Lux."
