When I composed this song last year, I was looking for a little change from the usual Haugen, Farrell or Schutte hymns we had had in our parish. So here it is. I hope you like it. Feel free to use and dessiminate. Music sheet is attached. The new Gathering Hymn: 'Walk with Christ' by Erwin Cabucos. Enjoy!

 

Looking for a sprightly tune for Responsorial Psalm this coming weekend? Try this tune, using the Philippine Nursery Rhyme Leron-Leron Sinta. The response is 'Let all the earth, cry out to God with joy'. Guitar, vocal and arranged by me - Erwin Cabucos from Catholic Church Hymns. Enjoy! If you have a Filipino person in your parish, let him or her sing it, it's the most popular kid's song in the Philippines. 

It's really newish as I wrote  and home recorded it around same time last year. Since then, it has been played in my church and blogged in Australia. I wonder what you think of it. Enjoy 'We Thank You, Lord' Thanks to Geoff Madden for such a great backing track. https://youtu.be/kA-rFLmSqhM

All evil disperse
King of the universe
Our bodies glorify
Lord almighty

3) Come, Thou Incarnate Word,
gird on Thy mighty sword,

I thank You for the wonder of my being.

For it was You who created my being,
