Notes: Text selected by the Very Reverend John W. Suter, fourth dean of Washington Cathedral. This anthem and Welcome All Wonders in one Sight were composed for the fiftieth anniversary of the Laying of the Foundation Stone. Dean Sayre asked his predecessor to write the service for that occasion, and a most brilliant and effective liturgical effort was forthcoming, involving all the cathedral foundation worship and music forces. The service took place on Michaelmas, September 29, 1957.
