Saint Paul Oratorio (Clip 12) No. 41, 42

MBCLA Combined Choir (15 Aug 09)

AND PAUL SENT AND CALLED THE ELDERS of the Church at Ephesus, and said to them: Ye know how at all seasons I have been with you, serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears, testifying the faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold ye, I, bounded in spirit, go my way to Jerusalem. Bonds and affliction abide me there, and ye shall see my face no more. And they all wept sore, and prayed. (Acts 20:17-19, 21-23, 25, 37)

FAR BE IT FROM THY PATH, these things shall not be unto thee.
"What means ye thus to weep, and thus to break my heart? For I am prepared not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the Name of the Lord our Savior Jesus Christ."
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. And they accompanied him unto the ship, and saw his face no more. (Matt 16:22; Acts 21:13, 20:36, 38)
