Sing the Feast: Additional resources
The Additional Resources section of Sing the Feast, musicians’ edition, (published 1997 by Openbook Publishers) contains alternative settings by various composers of specific parts of the liturgy. These can be substituted, if desired, for the equivalent part of the liturgy in any of the Sing the Feast settings, or any form of the holy communion service. The texts of these additional resources are included here for convenience and because, in some cases, the texts vary slightly from those in the complete orders of service. The parts of the service comprising these Additional Resources, with the names of the composers of the settings, are as follows:

WHAT SHALL I RENDER
What shall I render to the Lord
for all his benefits to me?
I will offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will take the cup of salvation
and will call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord now
in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of the Lord,
in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
JESUS, LAMB OF GOD
Jesus, Lamb of God,
have mercy on us.
Jesus, bearer of our sins,
have mercy on us.
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
grant us peace.
LET THE VINEYARDS
Let the vineyards be fruitful, Lord,
and fill to the brim our cup of blessing.
Gather a harvest from the seeds that were sown,
that we may be fed with the bread of life.
Gather the hopes and the dreams of all:
unite them with the prayers we offer now.
Grace our table with your presence,
and give us a foretaste of the feast to come.
SONG OF SIMEON
Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace,
your word has been fulfilled.
My own eyes have seen the salvation
which you have prepared in the sight of every people:
a light to reveal you to the nations,
and the glory of your people Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
THANK THE LORD
Thank the Lord and sing his praise;
tell everyone what he has done.
Let all those who seek the Lord
rejoice and proudly bear his name.
He recalls his promises
and leads his people forth in joy
with shouts of thanksgiving.
Alle-alleluia.
