All Soul's Day song: I Thank My God

MP3 Music Playlist: 
This song by the Australian Fr Frank Andersen, MSC, I reckon, makes a great recessional or sending forth hymn because it shows connection and care in the name of faith between two Christians.

I think it also makes a thoughtful prayerful anthem for All Soul's Day because it conveys a caring link between the speaker in the lyrics and another person in faith, who could mean someone alive or dead.

The lyrics are taken from the first part of Philemon, chapter 1, verses 3-11 to be exact, and the melody is rather joyful and sprightly.

I hope you like my cover.

 

Daily Daily Sing to Mary - an old favorite Marian song

'Daily, daily sing to Mary, sing my soul her praises due' was first writen by the French monk St Bernard Cluny in the 12th century. It was later adopted into English and included in the Christian hymbook Paderborn Gesangbuch in 1765.

 

The Coming of Our God

Just found this in one of my older hymnals. They just don't craft songs like this anymore. The Coming of Our God C. Coffin, 1676-1749. Tr R. Campbell, 1814-1868, and compilers The coming of our God Our thoughts must now employ Then let us meet Him on the road With songs of holy joy. The co-eternal Son A Maiden's offspring see; A servant's form Christ putteth on To set His people free Daughter of Sion, rise To greet thine infant King; Nor let thy stubborn heart despise The pardon he doth bring. In glory from His throne Again will Christ descend And summon all that are His own To joys that never end. Let deeds of darkness fly Before the approaching morn, For unto sin 'tis ours to die And serve the Virgin-born. Our joyful praises sing To Christ, that set us free; Like tribute to the Father bring, And Holy Ghost, to Thee.
