And All For Your Love's Sake
And All For Your Love's Sake was written for the Troubadours of C.D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA for choral evensong at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The text is drawn from two evening prayers in the Episcopal evening service, one from Compline and one from Evensong. Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping. That awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch or weep this night, and give your 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 your love's sake.
