Music Fridays- "Our Father"

I've posted music before from the Taize Community. Taize is a non-denominational monastic community founded by a Swiss Reformed pastor named Brother Roger during World War II. Since then, many young men from Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox backgrounds have taken vows of celibacy and poverty so they might devoted to Jesus Christ. Some young protestants, myself included, have been touched by how Taize manages to re-introduce Catholic and Eastern Orthodox music and spirituality to the protestant world. For others, music from Taize remains too Catholic for comfort.

In the hopes promoting the value of ancient liturgical practices, I submit this clip of a sung/chanted version of The Lord's Prayer. The video was taken during Brother Roger's funeral mass.

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

Prayer/Food for Thought:
For All The Saints by William Walsham How, 1864

For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
who thee by faith before the world confessed,
thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Alleluia, Alleluia!

Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might;
thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight;
thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia, Alleluia!

For the apostles' glorious company,
who bearing forth the cross o'er land and sea,
shook all the mighty world, we sing to Thee: Alleluia, Alleluia!

For the Evangelists, by whose blest word,
like fourfold streams, the garden of the Lord,
is fair and fruitful, be thy Name adored. Alleluia, Alleluia!

For Martyrs, who with rapture kindled eye,
saw the bright crown descending from the sky,
and seeing, grasped it, thee we glorify. Alleluia, Alleluia!

O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win, with them the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia, Alleluia!

O blest communion, fellowship divine!
we feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
all are one in thee, for all are thine. Alleluia, Alleluia!

And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave, again, and arms are strong. Alleluia, Alleluia!

The golden evening brightens in the west;
soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory passes on his way. Alleluia, Alleluia!

From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
and singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost: Alleluia, Alleluia!

October 18, 2009 [Green]
Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 24)
Rev. Ed Lantz Preaching
“Entrusted to be Present”
Hebrews 10:25

Prayer:

Almighty and everlasting God, in Christ you have revealed your glory among the nations: Preserve the works of your mercy, that your Church throughout the world may persevere with steadfast faith in the confession of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Collect for Proper 24, Book of Common Prayer (ECUSA)

Food for thought:

“Doing life together was God's plan from the beginning of time. From the relationship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Trinity, to the twelve apostles, to the house churches, and even Jesus' final words in the Great Comission (Matthew 28:16-20)- all share the pattern of life together.”

Rick Warren, from the introduction to the Life Together small group curriculum series.
