This hymn has so much nostalgia attached for me. When I loved God in my own childish way. How beautiful Mass was then.

And the Mass still is .

I find the Mass grows more beautiful as the years progress .

Mary of Walsingham .

The Slipper Chapel Statue goes to Wembley

During the Visit of Pope John Paul II to England in 1982, the Slipper Chapel Statue was taken to Wembley Stadium and was carried around the stadium prior to the Papal Mass preceeded by The Director of the Roman Catholic Shrine (Fr Clive Birch sm) and the Administrator of the Anglican Shrine (Rev Christopher Colven).

The Pope then insisted that the Statue be placed on the altar for the Mass.

Come, Holy Ghost .

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
and lighten with celestial fire.
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.

Thy blessed unction from above
is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
the dullness of our blinded sight.

Anoint and cheer our soiled face
with the abundance of thy grace.
Keep far from foes, give peace at home:
where thou art guide, no ill can come.

Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and thee, of both, to be but One,
that through the ages all along,
this may be our endless song:

Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Brightest and Best .

1. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.


2. Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall.
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.


3. Shall we not yield Him, In costly devotion
Odors of Edom and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine?


4. Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure.
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.


5. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

[Colin]

I'll Go In The Strength Of The Lord


I will go in the strength of the Lord,
In the path He hath marked for my feet:
I will follow the light of His Word,
Nor shrink from the dangers I meet.
His presence my steps shall attend:
His fullness my wants shall supply;
On Him, till my journey shall end,
My hope shall securely rely.


I will go in the strength of the Lord,
To the work He appoints me to do:
In the joy which His smile shall afford
My soul shall her vigor renew.
His wisdom will guard me from harm,
His pow’r my sufficiency prove;
I will trust His omnipotent arm,
I will rest in His covenant love.


I will go in the strength of the Lord,
To each conflict which faith may require,
His grace, as my shield and reward,
My courage and zeal shall inspire.
If He issue the word of command
To meet and encounter the foe,
Though with sling and with stone in my hand,
In the strength of the Lord I will go .

LOL Colin. BRILLIANT!

 

[Colin]

I am the Bread of Life .

I am the Bread of life,
He who comes to Me shall not hunger,
He who believes in Me shall not thirst.
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father draw him.


And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up on the last day.


The bread that I will give
Is My flesh for the life of the world,
And he who eats of this bread,
He shall live for ever,
He shall live for ever.


And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up on the last day.


Unless you eat
Of the flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of His blood,
And drink of His blood,
You shall not have life within you.


And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up on the last day.

I am the Resurrection,
I am the Life,
He who believes in Me
Even if he die,
He shall live for ever.


And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up on the last day.


Yes, Lord, we believe
That You are the Christ,
The Son of God
Who has come
Into the world.


And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up on the last day .

Walk humbly with your God.

I'd love a choir like this at Mass

 

[FireDragon76]

O Joyous Light. This is probably my favorite hymn of all, it is sung at the Orthodox vespers (and also in some western churches):

I also like this one, it is of Russian origin, also sung by the same monastery choir of St. John of San Francisco:

War Requiem by Benjamin Britten .

Requiem aeternam

Chorus
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Chorus
Lord, grant them eternal rest;
and let the perpetual light shine upon them.
Boys
Te decet hymnus, Deus in Sion:
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem;
exaudi orationem meam,
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Boys
Thou shalt have praise in Zion, of God:
and homage shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem;
hear my prayer,
all flesh shall come before Thee.
Chorus
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Chorus
Lord, grant them eternal rest;
and let the perpetual light shine apon them.
Tenor
What passing bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons
No mockeries for them from prayers or bells,
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, --
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
What candles may be held to speed them at all?
Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of silent minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
Chorus
Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Kyrie eleison

Glória in excélsis Deo
et in terra pax homínibus
bonae voluntátis.
Laudámus te, benedícimus te,
adorámus te, glorificámus te,
grátias ágimus tibi
propter magnam glóriam tuam,
Domine Deus, Rex caeléstis,
Deus Pater omnípotens.
Dómine Fili unigénite, Jesu Christe,
Dómine Deus, Agnus Dei,
Fílius Patris,
qui tollis peccáta mundi,
miserére nobis;
qui tollis peccáta mundi,
súscipe deprecatiónem nostram;
qui sedes ad déxteram
Patris,
miserére nobis.
Quoniam tu solus Sanctus,
tu solus Dóminus,
tu solus Altissímus, Jesu Christe,
cum Sancto Spíritu:
in gloria Dei Patris.
Amen
