ALL HAIL THE POW'R OF JESUS' NAME

(Number 95)

All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall ;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all !

Let every kindred, every tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe,

And crown Him Lord of all!

Oh, that with yonder sacred throng

We at his feet may- fall,

Join in the everlasting song,

And crown Him Lord of all !

LA FETE DE JARDINIER or

THE FARMER'S GARDEN PARTY Based on Ballet

by Chalif

Presented by Women's Physical Education Classes

The scene opens with a peasant boy climbing over the fence into the garden. He beckons to a companion to join him . After picking a few ot the flowers, the boys dance for joy. Their dance is interrupted by the gardener who chases them out of the garden. The gardener sits down :o enjoy his flowers an<l falls asleep. He dreams that. the butterflies bring the flowers to life. The queen of flowers crowns him king, and the tk•wers dance before them. He awakes to find it only a dream and sadly starts to leaYe the garden but is met at the gate by his friends coming to visit him. After the peasants admire the flowers, they all join in a Joyful dance and leave their host feeling that it is better to be a gardener than a king.
