Choral Introit “Bryn Calfaria” William Owen

+Call to Worship Praise the Lord. Praise God in the sanctuary; Praise God for acts of power; Praise God for surpassing greatness. Praise God with the sounding of the trumpet,

Praise God with the harp and lyre,

Praise God with timbrel and dancing,

Praise God with the strings and pipe.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

+Hymn 554 “Let All Things Now Living” ASH GROVE

Reading of the Decalogue Exodus 20:1-17 David McCowen (Pew Bible, OT pages 63-64) Prayer of Confession (Prayer by Scottish Presbyterian William Barclay

Save us, O God, from the blindness, which is not even aware that it is sinning; from the pride, which cannot admit that it is wrong;

from the self-will, which can see nothing but its own way; from the self-righteousness, which sees no flaw within itself; from the defiance, which is not even sorry for its sins; from the evasion, which puts the blame on someone else; from the heart so hardened that it cannot repent. Give us at all times eyes which are open to our own faults; a conscience which is sensitive and quick to warn; a heart which cannot sin in peace, but which is moved to regret and to remorse. So grant that being truly penitent we may be truly forgiven, so that we may find that your love is great enough to cover all our sin; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

A time of silent, personal confession

The Introit is from an original setting of the tune Bryn Calfaria. The music was composed by the Welshman

William Owen (1814-1893), who also composed the well-known hymntune Hyfrydol. The name of the tune

means “Mount Calvary” and the text is an adaptation from a Gaelic rune. A rune is a poetic form of Nordic ori-

gins.

Let All Things Now Living is sung to the tune Ash Grove, a traditional Welsh melody the source of which is un-

known. The tune is found in the collection Book of National Songs published in England by Novello & Co. The

words were written specifically for this tune by the American composer Katherine K. Davis (1892~1980) in

1920. Although the composer of more than eight hundred pieces of music, she is perhaps best known as the com-

poser of The Little Drummer Boy.

The music for the Psalter, O Lord, You Are My God and King, is based on a traditional Scottish melody titled

Bonnie Doon and arranged by Ed Weaver. The text is the metrical setting of Psalm 145:1-13 from The Psalter of

1912.

The sung response to the Assurance of Pardon is from a tradition of chanting unique to the churches of England

and Scotland. A chant is not a hymn melody to which a text has been fitted, but rather a series of tones to which

the words of a psalm or canticle are recited. Therefore, chanting is a rhythmic reading in which the text is of

prime importance. The setting is the Gloria in excelsis, based on a tune which by tradition has become known as

Old Scottish Chant.

The Musical Offering, The Apple Tree, is based on a traditional Scottish folk song arranged by K. Lee Scott in

this setting in 1983. The words are from an unknown American colonial author published in a collection by Josh-

ua Smith in New Hampshire in 1784.

The text of the Hymn, O God of Bethel, by Whose Hand, was written by Philip Doddridge in 1737 based on Gen-

esis 28:19-22 It is set to the Scottish tune Dundee which is from the Scottish Psalter (properly known as The

One Hundred Fifty Psalms of David), a collection of metrical settings published by Andro Hart in Edinburgh in

1615. Dundee is one of the twelve common tunes in the collection, important because so many of the Psalms

could be sung to them.

The Offertory, Song for Mary, is a recent composition by Mike Steel in the form of a traditional Air.

Shuttle pipes, sometimes referred to as “small pipes” or “house pipes” are played in the same manner as the Great

Highland pipes except the drones are much smaller, banded together in a single resonator, each is tuned by means

of a slide or shuttle, hence the name.

The Offertory Response, the Doxology sung to the tune Old Hundredth, is the most frequently sung hymn tune in

Christendom and dates to the roots of Presbyterianism. The tune was composed by Louis Bourgeois (1510-

1561), the chief musician of John Calvin’s church in Geneva, Switzerland. Calvin (1509-1564) allowed only the

Old Testament Psalms to be sung in church and enlisted French poets to cast the Hebrew into French verse; Bour-

geois composed tunes for the singing of these metrical psalms. The tune was first named Old Hundredth in Eng-

land because of its association with the metrical version of Psalm 100.

The Choral Benediction, entitled A Gaelic Blessing, is a setting of words adapted from an old Gaelic rune by

John Rutter in 1978.

The Postlude, The Rose of Kelvingrove, is an arrangement by David Knox. Although the tune is from an un-

known source, it was introduced to Knox by Ronnie Henderson, the Pipe Major of the Gordon Highlanders, in

1985. Knox was so impressed with the melody that he arranged the tune for Bagpipes and Wind Band. It was an

immediate success and was featured in the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth, held in Edinburgh, in 1986.

We extend our appreciation to

Doug Gray of the Saint Andrew Society &

Don Boney of the Stone Mountain Highland Games

for the tartans,

and a special thank you to

Michael Grest, piper extraodinaire.

Kirking of the Tartans Kirk is Scottish for church, and the Tartan, with its distinctive cross-lined patterns, represents Scottish clans, families,

regions, and regiments. The Kirking of the Tartans was introduced in the United States by Rev. Dr. Peter Marshall on

April 27, 1941 at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, Washington, D.C. The ceremony was intended as a service of

rededication to Scottish heritage and to historical devotion to God and country.

Tartans: Perhaps no symbol is more associated with Scotland and Scottish history than the colorful traditions of High-

land dress. The tradition of the tartan is ancient, and there are many references to it in early Scottish literature. Ancient

tartans were described as “chequered” or “striped” or “sundrie coloured”. The basic pattern of the tartan is the sett, and a

sett is repeated until the desired length of material is achieved. For centuries, tartans were part of the everyday attire of

the Highland people, and it was there that its use continued and developed to become recognized as a symbol of clan kin-

ship. Tartans are still being developed and registered with the Scottish Tartan Society. A specific tartan exists for those

in the ministry and a red, white, and blue tartan was created for the Bicentennial of the United States in 1976.

Beadle: During the Middle Ages and throughout the Reformation, ownership of a Bible was rare among the common

people. Thus, the Bible of a Kirk was a treasured possession. The reverence toward sacred Scripture and the scarcity of

Bibles led to the establishment of a special lay office within the Kirk, known as the Beadle. The Beadle, whose primary

duty was to guard and protect the Bible, was usually elected by the Session of the Kirk. The beginning of Worship was

marked by the reverent carrying of the Bible into the Kirk and its opening for the morning readings. As the Bible was

carried by the Beadle into the Kirk, the people stood in respect for the Holy Book. At the conclusion of Worship, the

Beadle removed the Bible for safekeeping.

Bagpipes: Although bagpipes are ancient and derive from several international sources, the instrument is most frequently

associated as the national instrument of Scotland. It has been used for centuries in folk and military music. Clans took

great pride in their pipers and the reputation of a clan was based to some extent on the abilities of its pipers.

John Knox ~ Scottish Reformer: Knox studied under John Calvin (the father of Presbyterianism) in Geneva, Switzer-

land in the 1550's. Upon returning to Scotland, he wrote the first Book of Church Order and established the first Presby-

terian churches. The church spread to Ireland, and it was immigrants from Scotland and Ireland who brought the Presby-

terian Church to America.

Celtic Cross: The Celtic Cross has long been established with Celtic Christians who trace their origins to the earliest cen-

turies of the Church. Notable examples of this form of the cross are found in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. The design

focuses attention on the head of the cross (which is the junction between the shaft and the crosspiece) which is enclosed

within a circle. It is this circle which is the most distinctive and differentiating feature of the Celtic version. Although

the significance is not known with certainty, it likely derives from a Constantinian symbol in which the Chi Rho mono-

gram was surrounded by a golden crown. The circle as a representation of infinity is an emblem of eternal life in Christ’s

victory over sin and death.

Tradi�ons in Music

Music is an important part of our reformed Scottish and Welsh traditions and the influence of those traditions can be

found throughout the world.

The music for the Gathering is traditional Scottish tunes piped by Michael Grest.

Worship begins with the Opening Voluntary. The musical selection is based on the hymntune Rhosymedre which was

adapted from the Scottish Psalter by John David Edwards (1806-1885). Edwards composed and arranged a collection of

sacred music in 1840 during the time he was Vicar at Rhosymedre, Wales; hence the name for his favorite tune. The set-

ting is by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1952), renowned as the most important English composer of his generation.

The arrangement for handbells is by Douglas Wagner.

The Processional, Highland Cathedral, was composed by Uli Roever and Michael Korb in 1982. Although Roever and

Korb were convinced of its chances of success - publishing companies were not. In spite of their rejection at that time, the

tune has found its way into people's hearts. The composers produced their own CD with Korb performing. Since then,

the composition has been published on various sound media about 80 times by different artists (e.g. in the Netherlands,

South Africa, UK and USA). It is played by virtually all Scottish bagpipe bands and has become one of the best(known

bagpipe tunes in the world.

Kyrie Eleison Assurance of Pardon

God’s mercy never fails. Friends, hear and believe the good news: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!

+Congregational Response (sung by all)

+The Passing of the Peace Leader: Grounded in grace, let us celebrate the peace we have received in Jesus Christ by sharing it with one another and with the whole world. The peace of Christ be with you all. People: And also with you.

Please greet your neighbors with a handshake and the words, “The peace of Christ be with you.”
