Ant.  May the Lord be blessed day after Day
May his Name  always be hallowed
  
1 Let God arise, let his foes be scattered. 
2 Let those who hate him flee before him.

I like Brother Michael Herry's Responsorial Psalm arrangements because they're suited to those who have low voice range, but this one sounds like an exception, with a prolonged and hightened 'live' at the end of the response. All the same, the tune bears reverence, traditional (chant), yet emotive.

 

Happy Sunday, everyone! Peace! I just wanted to play this on guitar as I felt it is a much needed prayer now and always. Here's my guitar recording. Hopefully, you like it.

 

 

Responsorial Psalm 65(66):1-7,16,20 for the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

 

            G           D      C           G

Response: Cry out with joy to God, all the earth.

 

  G           D      C           G

Cry out with joy to God all the earth,

   C            D           G

O sing to the glory of His name.

   D      C             G

O render Him glorious praise.

 C      D     C      D            G

Say to God: ‘How tremendous Your deeds!

 

            G           D      C           G

This is a joy to compose. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think. Here's the music sheet for piano and guitar and vocal for your convenience. This song is registered with One License and CCLI. Email me on erwincabucos@gmail.com if there's anything else I can help. Enjoy!


 

Deepen our  love for you, O Lord
who grant us pardon for our faults,
that you may have compassion,  O Lord,                               
on  us you cleanse from guilt and sin.

Once we taste your   divine fire

When I composed this song in 2024, I was thinking something bright, fast and catchy for the younger audience. This was what came out. I hope I have achieved it, and I hope our younger people will like it.

In saying that however, I also put challenging words like tumultuous and apathy - to encourage a little bit of effort to sing with resilience just like the subject of the song - St Mary MacKillop herself.

Enjoy. Music here attached, for your use and sharing with others. The song is registered with One License.

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. 



 

Hi all, here is the follow up to my EP Flawed Believer. This one is a little shorter than the first but if interested I have have attached a link for it below. God Bless. Alex.
