Music (for Men's voices - AATB) composed and performed by David W Solomons (dwsChorale)
Poem:
Order of the Day
DAWN
The new light softly streams,
Through the lace curtains,
And I try to Mend my dreams
Till Im myself again.
NOON
I look into the sky,
Where cirrus clouds collide,
Laze in the summer light,
While the breeze talks to me.
EVENinG
A time for rose-red thought,
Long shadows casting,
Memories fleeting,
Fading and fraught.
DUSK
Dusk is for grieving,
And for private tears.
Perhaps for believing
Despite what we fear.

However, the existence of a primary form of the Choir conducted by Agesilaos Papantoniou and then Ioannis Kottoros in succession is traced in 1930s.
Since its foundation the Choir has had an exclusive and leading position in the parish ecclesiastical music, and, like Saint Alexander’s Church, follows the eastern orthodox doctrine and comes under the Holy Metropolis of Nea Smyrni. Both the Choir and the former conductor Ioannis Kottoros have been awarded several times;
recently, in 2005, they were honoured with the Golden Cross of Apostle Paul by His Beatitude the late Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, Christodoulos.
The Choir consists totally of Men and performs the choral part during the Divine Liturgy in Saint Alexander’s Church every Sunday (10.20 a.m. - 12.00 p.m.) of its operational year, which begins on the first Sunday of November and lasts until... ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

This is my own performance (as the multitrack choir dwsChorale)
1. If there's anybody here like weepin' Mary
Call upon your Jesus and he'll draw nigh
If there's anybody here like weepin' Mary
Call upon your Jesus and he'll draw nigh
Oh glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory be to my God who rules on high
[traditional]
2. "They have stole away my Lord" said weepin' Mary
"And I know not where they have laid him down"
"Yes they've stole away my Lord" said weepin' Mary
"And I know not where they have laid him down"
"Oh Mary!" "Is it you Rabboni?"
Jesus here is risen and dies no more.
