Ang Katawan Ni Kristo (Behold the Body of Christ)

RS’s parish use this wonderful communion song by Ricky Manalo. It would be especially appropriate for Corpus Christi. It is pretty singable – the bridge goes to a D but only briefly and the triplets work easily enough.

Is the title Malay language?

[No – Filipino – thanks RS]

Cantus Mundi have helpfully aggregated the text and You Tube clips.  The sheet music can be purchased at OCP.

    Nope, not Malaysia, but you’re close- just go a bit northeast to the Philippines! I’d say filipinos make up at least half, maybe even as high as two-thirds of the parishioners here at the parish I go to, so it’s not surprising they use this hymn a few times during the year 🙂
