For my HYMN OF THE MONTH, I have chosen a hymn written by Miss Eliza Allen Starr and composed by Sister Mary Alexis Donnelly, R.S.M. Both women and their contributions to Catholic music have largely been forgotten by all but few vintage organist and hymnologist. Please take a moment to read more about these two wonderful Catholic women and the fruits of their labor.

Asking the Father Son and the Spirit to help us on our pilgrimage.
God of day and God of darkness, Now we stand before the night. As the shadows stretch and deepen, Come and make our darkness bright. All creation still is groaning For the dawning of your might. When the Son of peace and justice Fills the earth with His radiant light.
Come Lord Jesus for you we yearn To set us free and live fully Our love and hearts brightly burn
Psalm 137 On the day I called you answered me O God
Psalm 137: On the day I called, you answered me O God. Responsorial Psalm for the 17th Sunday in Ordinay Time Year C. Music by Bro Michael Herry, cover by Erwin Cabucos. Lyrics and chords on the video.
A psalm foretelling the result of the Lord's return
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.
Geoff Madden's Instrumental of Erwin Cabucos' song I Can Do All Things Through You
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!
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.

For my HYMN OF THE MONTH, I have chosen a hymn that is a translation of the Latin Ad Cor Jesu (To the Heart of Jesus) by Monsignor Hugh Thomas Henry, Litt.D., which was published in 1912. The music was composed by Nicola Montani, an accomplished musician, composer, and publisher. The hymn is a testament that devotional hymns which have long been forgotten can once again find their place our Catholic liturgy. Please take a moment to read about this beautiful hymn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Engagée dans la diffusion de la musique catholique, je cherche à partager des chants pour contribuer à l’œuvre d’évangélisation selon mes humbles moyens. Que Dieu veille sur chacun de nous !
I've written a Mass setting, got it approved by the USCCB, several psalm settings, and a couple years of gospel acclamation verses. Looking for a place to publish my works.
As a Catholic songwriter and singer myself, I want to contribute to the community and receive info on how to promote good Catholic songs to a wide audiences.
I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.
I'm a music director at a Cathedral and a composer. I would love to hear other composers, music, ideas, etc. Additionally, I'd like to share my own music.
I am searching for a hymn sung on line in Canada - when I am confined to home and watch mass. I am a piano player for many years and would like to find the musical score.
I have written and recorded about 70 songs over the last two decades. I would like to share them with a larger audience. Thank you and God bless your work Ron St Martin
I am a Catechist that believes that religious song is the prayer of the angels, that lifts the soul. What better way to get a child to feel the present of God's peace
I am a practicing Roman Catholic always trying to increase my faith and holiness. I like Christian music particularly prefer Catholic Christian when I am driving or at home completing tasks.
I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.
