I am picking a few songs from this collection that might bridge the gap between the OCP songs in AOV and the ones I have caught up on from later updates.
This song, aka “O Come and Sing”, is by Manual José Alonso and José Pagán with an English translation by Owen Alstott. He must be quite a translator as the Spanish version at OCP has 3 verses and the English four. The text is based on Revelation 7:4, 9-12.
It is a lively song for gathering and sending forth. While Never Too Young is aimed at a youth audience, singing for joy is not limited to young people.
The sheet music can be purchased at OCP where the text is in their preview.
