SEPTUAGESIMA SUNDAY
February 5, 2012
Welcome to Christ Anglican Church! Thank you for choosing to worship with us. Supplementing the bulletin, in the back
of the pew, you may reference the Book of Common Prayer and the Hymnal, or the booklet containing the Order of Service
for Holy Communion. In the Narthex are activity bags for children, and if needed, a quiet room to the left at the front of the
Church. Mostly, we hope you experience grace, love, and fellowship as we worship the Lord.

O sing unto the Lord, sing him a new song;

With timbrel's sound and psaltery sing unto him.

Communion Anthem I Wonder as I Wander — John Jacob Niles (1892-1980)
Eileen Mager, soprano
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky,
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on’ry people like you and like I ...
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.
When Mary birthed Jesus, ’twas in a cow’s stall,
With wise men and farmers and shepherds
and all.
But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did
fall,
And the promise of ages it then did recall.
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing,
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing,
Or all of God’s angels in heav’n for to sing,
He surely could have it, ’cause he was the King.
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky,
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on’ry people like you and like I ...
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
