My Eternal King


The Last Sunday after Pentecost (Christ the King)
November 24, 2019

Today is the Feast of Christ the King. As the liturgical year draws to a close, this day celebrates Christ's kingship and sovereign rule over  all creation. Festive hymns and anthems are a hallmark of this glorious celebration. We will welcome a new year next Sunday as Advent begins.

Like many churches across the United States, our offertory anthem this morning is the choral classic, "My Eternal King" by Jane Marshall. It is a large scale, English cathedral style anthem by an American composer who served on the faculty of Southern Methodist University. Marshall died last summer after a long and prolific career.
