"Lord of All Good"

When I recorded a version of "Farley Castle" with recorders a couple months ago, I used the arrangement from The Lutheran Service Book #786 "Lord of All Good."  While going through the tune, I noticed a connection between it and the text.  The second phrase has a number of cross inscriptions.  It would be cumbersome to indicate them all; aside from the first C, any four sequential notes form this figure.

These cross inscriptions connect to the text in the second verse.  The line here is "Christ, by whose willing sacrifice we live."  Part of that "willing sacrifice" was the crucifixion.

"Farley Castle" (LSB #786)

I did this mostly as a test to see what a hymn tune would sound like if I did the higher three parts with recorders (soprano, alto, and tenor) and the lowest with electric bass.  I'm considered doing a project using this instrumentation.

"Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face"

Way back in April, I transcribed "Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face" and noticed a small feature in the sixth verse.  The first line is "Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear," sung to this phrase from the tune "Farley Castle":

"Too soon we rise" is sung to an ascending group of notes (C E F G), musically representing that "ris[ing]."
