"Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give thine angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for thy love's sake. Amen."

I wanted to make a video to have the Greek and English on screen. When I looked at these passages in Greek I was struck by how similar the words of each person were. Here's a challenge for any Koine Greek students out there: Can you compare my text with Matthew 15:22,28 & Mark 10:47,51-52 to see how I adjusted each text to make them fit the music and work slightly better in parallel?

This song helps us imagine ourselves present with the grieving women followers of Jesus, who have just seen Him crucified and now prepare the customary preparations for a proper burial. Special thanks to Eleanor Carlson as art director and to Nola Nelson and Lindsey Deakins for ‘lending a hand.’ In writing the song, Katy Wehr imagined the myrrhbearers consoling each other by singing a well known text from Song of Songs 8, which seems both mournful and hopeful here.
