Offertory Anthem - Veiled in darkness | Glenn Rudolph (b. 1951) | Nov. 21, 2021 | Bethesda-by-the-Sea The Offertory Anthem for Sunday, November 28, 2021, The First Sunday of Advent | Veiled in darkness | Glenn Rudolph (b. 1951) Veiled in darkness Judah lay, Waiting for the promised day, While across the shadowy night Streamed a flood of glorious light, Heav’nly voices chanting then, “Peace on earth, goodwill to men.” Still the earth in darkness lies, Up from death’s dark vale arise Voices of a world in grief, Prayers of men who seek relief; Now our darkness pierce again, “Peace on earth, goodwill to men.” Light of light, we humbly pray, Shine upon Thy world today; Break the gloom of our dark night, Fill our souls with love and light, Send thy blessed word again, “Peace on earth, goodwill to men.” Douglas Letel Rights (1891–1956) Please help ensure that Bethesda’s ministry continues to be strong and vibrant.
