The Communion Anthem for Sunday, March 20, 2022, The Third Sunday of Lent | Hymn to God | Thomas Morley (1557/8–1602) Nolo mortem peccatoris; [I do not desire the death of a sinner;] Haec sunt verba Salvatoris. [These are the words of the Savior.] Father, I am thine only Son, Sent down from heav’n mankind to save. Father, all things fulfill’d and done According to thy will, I have. Father, my will now all is this: Nolo mortem peccatoris. Father, behold my painful smart, Taken for man on ev’ry side; Ev’n from my birth to death most tart, No kind of pain I have denied, But suffer’d all, and all for this: Nolo mortem peccatoris. ~ Medieval carol Please help ensure that Bethesda’s ministry continues to be strong and vibrant.
