This was the Recessional Hymn on Wayne's last Sunday at Redeemer.
1) When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride,
It is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia!
2) How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound,
As worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia!
3) So has the church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
Borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue: Alleluia!
4) Let ev'ry instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!
Tune: "Engelberg", Charles V. Stanford, 1904

Wayne Burcham-Gulotta,
Music Director/Organist
J. W. Steere & Son Organ Co., Opus 701, 1918, 3/49
Ernest M. Skinner bought out Steere in 1920 and Skinner ran Steere as a separate company for about a year. Then they brought it into the fold as a separate Skinner factory. For a time organs being built there had the Skinner name but were essentially Steere organs. Much of the great Skinner at Woolsey Hall, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA is Steere (1915 major enlargement of 1902 Hutchings). Final expansion to the Skinner instrument at Yale we know today was the 1928-1929 rebuild.
