Moses Hogan (1957-2003)
We shall walk through the valley in peace.
We shall walk through the valley in peace.
For Jesus himself will be our leader.
We shall walk through the valley in peace.
We will meet our loved ones there.
We will meet our loved ones there.
For Jesus himself will be our leader.
We shall walk through the valley in peace.
There will be no trials there.
There will be no trials there.
For Jesus himself will be our leader.
We shall walk through the valley in peace.

Evan Moss, tenor
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
The eart shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shin;
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine.

Eric Whitacre (b. 1970)
Child of wonder, child of sky.
Time to end your voyage, time to die.
Silent slumber calls you dark and deep,
Child of soft surrender, child of sleep.
Child of sorrow, child of rain.
There is no tomorrow, no more pain.
Turn your silvered sails toward the light,
Child of mourning, child of night.
Child of iridescence, Child of dream,
Stars and moons will guide you down the stream.
Stretched on ocean waves of endless foam,
Welcome home my child, welcome home.
Welcome home, welcome home.
Ēriks Ešenvalds (b. 1977)

Madison Bowman, soprano
Only in sleep I see their faces,
Loved ones I sang with when I was a child,
Ralph first comes back with his gaze full of wonder,
Ruthie with laughter strong and wild.
Only in sleep Time is forgotten:
Do they now walk with God, where they've gone?
Yet we sang last night as long ago,
And the church bell tolls at the breaking of dawn.
The years have not silenced their joyful voices,
I hear them calling through the night.
Do they still sing to me, I wonder,
And do they guide me with their light?
Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)
