This is another of the wedding songs from the ritual music section of Spirit and Song Vol 2, this time by Janet Sullivan Whitaker. It is another solo piece on the pretty firm premise that wedding guests won’t know any Catholic songs anyway so you might as well have a specific wedding song. While looking for information about the piece I note its use for Gifts and Mother’s Day which might work as well.
It has a great lyric: “Let the light of love we bear be like the finery we wear.”
I have been working to the rule that I don’t put up copyrighted lyrics anymore and usually that’s OK because I can link to them somewhere else. This time I’ve failed, although I found a link to a pdf of the sheet music with little effort. I’m not linking that. It costs $2 to download the sheet music from OCP so that would make sense if you don’t own Spirit and Song Volume 2. OCP uploaded the song to My Catholic Voice if you want to hear the original.
My backing is a little kitsch I’m afraid.
Probably due its popularity as a wedding song there are quite a lot of Youtube clips of this song.
