Qui tollis peccata mundi (JS Bach)

Qui tollis peccata mundi
Four-part Chorus
from 'Mass in B minor, BWV 232'
Johann Sebastian Bach

Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram.

Lead On, O King Eternal

Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age,
like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
-- Job 5:26 KJV
His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We loss four of our own this past week.

Though we grief in remembrance of their absence, death no longer has sting and victory over these and all other saints. They are now on the other side of eternity, abiding in the presence of their Savior and Lord, our God. Forever.

The Modern Mother

THE MODERN MOTHER (1902)
By: Alice Meynell

Oh what a kiss
With filial passion overcharged is this!
To this misgiving breast
The child runs, as a child ne’er ran to rest
Upon the light heart and the unoppressed.

Unhoped, unsought!
A little tenderness, this mother thought
The utmost of her meed
She looked for gratitude; content indeed
With thus much that her nine years’ love had bought.

Nay, even with less.
This mother, giver of life, death, peace, distress,
Desired ah! not so much
Thanks as forgiveness; and the passing touch
Expected, and the slight, the brief caress.

Oh filial light
Strong in these childish eyes, these new, these bright
Intelligible stars! Their rays
Are near the constant earth, guides in the maze,
Natural, true, keen in this dusk of days.

[不了情]
鄧麗君　

忘不了忘不了
忘不了你的錯
忘不了你的好
忘不了雨中的散步
也忘不了那風裡的擁抱

忘不了忘不了
忘不了你的淚
忘不了你的笑
忘不了夜落的惆悵
也忘不了那花開的煩惱

寂寞的長巷
而今斜月清照
冷落的秋千
而今迎風輕搖

它重復你的叮嚀
一聲聲忘了忘了

它低訴我的衷曲
一聲聲難了難了

忘不了忘不了
忘不了春已盡
忘不了花已老
忘不了離別的滋味
也忘不了那相思的苦惱

[Interlude]

寂寞的長巷
而今斜月清照
冷落的秋千
而今迎風輕搖

它重復你的叮嚀
一聲聲忘了忘了

它低訴我的衷曲
一聲聲難了難了

忘不了忘不了
忘不了春已盡
忘不了花已老
忘不了離別的滋味
也忘不了那相思的苦惱
