Music Moments - "Ubi Caritas" by Ola Gjeilo

9/26/2020

0 Comments

 
Welcome to this new video series of previously recorded hymns, psalms, and anthems. Music Director Alex Benestelli talks about some of the musical selections featured in our online services. Learn, listen, and enjoy these musical offerings from the Choir of St. James by-the-Sea.
​Where charity and love are, there God is.
The love of Christ has gathered us into one.
Let us exult, and in Him be joyful.
Let us fear and let us love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love each other (and Him).

Where charity and love are, there God is.
Therefore, whensoever we are gathered as one:
Lest we in mind be divided, let us beware.
Let cease malicious quarrels, let strife give way.
And in the midst of us be Christ our God.
Where charity and love are, there God is.
Together also with the blessed may we see,
Gloriously, Thy countenance, O Christ our God:
A joy which is immense, and also approved:
Through infinite ages of ages. Amen.


​
Music: Ola Gjeilo (b. 1978)
Words: Latin, 8th Century

Music Moments - "Draw Us in the Spirit's Tether"

9/10/2020

1 Comment

 
Welcome to this new video series of previously recorded hymns, psalms, and anthems. Music Director Alex Benestelli talks about some of the musical selections featured in our online services. Learn, listen, and enjoy these musical offerings from the Choir of St. James by-the-Sea.
​Draw us in the Spirit’s tether;
For when humbly, in thy name,
Two or three are met together,
Thou art in the midst of them: Alleluya!

Touch we now thy garment’s hem.
As the brethren used to gather
In the name of Christ to sup,
Then with thanks to God the Father
Break the bread and bless the cup: Alleluya!
So knit thou our friendship up. 
All our meals and all our living
Make as sacraments of thee,
That by caring, helping, giving,
We may true disciples be: Alleluya! 
We will serve thee faithfully.

Words by Percy Dearmer (1867-1936)
Music by Harold Friedell (1905-1958)
