I will praise your name forever, my king and my God.
Gifts: A New Commandment (Unknown)
Communion: Bread of Heaven (Manibusan-Hart)
Thanksgiving: O Sacred Flame (Marshall)
Recessional: A New Heart for a New World (O’Brien/Watts) AOV 1/158
CWB II recommends this for the Common of the Dedication of a Church or Altar. It is a translation of a ?C9 Latin text Christe, cunctorum dominator alme and set to CHRISTE SANCTORUM.
A slightly different translation is on p 453 of this document.
Entrance: Like a Shepherd (Dufford) AOV 1/26

We are his people, the sheep of his flock.
Gifts: Shepherd Me O God (Haugen) AOV 1/33
Communion: In the Breaking of the Bread (Hurd) AOV 1/58
Thanksgiving: The Lord is My Shepherd (Boniwell) AOV 1/26
Recessional: Christ be Our Light (Farrell) AOV 2/3
397 Jesus, In Your Heart We Find
is actually for the Sacred Heart of Jesus but I’ve already blogged that hymn so …
CWB II gives you hymns for Christ the King as long as all you want is old tunes and traditional hymnody:
398 Christ Is King! O Friends Rejoice
The text and sheet music are at Hymnary. The tune is VULPIUS and the text is by George K. A. Bell.
399 Christ, Our Lord, the Prince of Ages
Godsongs has the original anonymous lyrics, which, while softened for modern tastes in CWB II – no words about heresy these days – are still pretty stodgy . It is set to LAUDA ANIMA.
The CWB II text is:
Christ our Lord, the Prince of ages,
Christ the nations' glorious King,
Whom we praise with exultation,
Saints and angels answering,
To your throne with true devotion,
Hearts and minds and senses bring.
Come, O Lord, and claim your kingdom,
Rebel hearts your grace can gain;
Bend the stubborn will of rulers
Who from homage still refrain:
In the home as in the city
Be supreme, O Christ, and reign.
O our own dear land, Australia,
Let the light of mercy shine,
That, in holy Church united,
All may know the saving sign:
Christ, upon the cross uplifted,
Drawing all with love divine.
Since I have already done:
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
… I have finished the songs in CWB II for Trinity Sunday and have arrived at songs for Corpus Christi.
I did a whole Mass of Corpus Christi songs here some time ago but CWB II has some suggestions for the sequence.
395: Ecce panis angelorum / See, the bread of angels given
This is the sequence for the Body and Blood of Christ in chant mode with a text by Thomas Aquinas translated by Henry W. Baker.
The text is at the end of this bulletin.
It sounds like this:
396a Come, Behold the Bread of Angels
This is the last two verses of 396b Praise, O Zion, Christ Our Glory / Lauda sion by Thomas Aquinas and here translated by John G Hibbard and set to PICARDY. The text is in this bulletin.
This is another song that is for Trinity Sunday. It is by Omar Westendorf, the founder of WLP.
It is set to GOTT VATER SEI GEPRIESEN.
The text is here. It appears to have been altered for CWB II:
Redeemed of Adam’s race -> O heirs of Adam’s race
We live in Him as one -> We are in Christ made one
I’m not sure what was unacceptable theologically there but I’m sure I can be enlightened.
Now for some confusion a near identical text is attributed to Mark Evans. Since he has the same birth year I suspect it is a pseudonym.
Getting back into the music for specific liturgies in Catholic Worship Book II is this song set for Trinity Sunday with a simple direct text by Michael Perry.
You can find the words at Jubilate. They have it set to DIM OND IESU but CWB II sets it to STUTTGART.
This is a lovely Easter song used at RS’s parish recently that was new to me. It is by Jaime Cortez.
The sheet music is at OCP where the text is in their preview.
Entrance: Jesus is Risen (O’Brien- Ogilvie) AOV NG 82
Psalm 29 (McKenna)
I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
Gifts: Do You Really Love Me (Landry)
Communion: Bread of Life (Farrell) AOV 1/164
Thanksgiving: The Summons (Maule-Bell) AOV NG 149
Recessional: Alleluia, Love is Alive (Angrisano, Manibusan, Hart)
Trish was able to point me to the sheet music of this song her parish used at Open Hymnal. With CWB II relying so heavily on old material, especially for tunes, Open Hymnal is looking a much more practical alternative for traditional hymnody.
This is a C18 German song for Eucharist. The version in the Open Hymnal is hamstrung by archaic English in the translation and over complex sentence construction that will make singing it interesting. It is much like the current missal translation in that respect. There are however a lot of variations in lyrics after the first verse available. OCP have a version with a less clunky translation. It is set to NON DIGNUS.
This from the Open Hymnal version:
O Lord, I am not worthy that thou should'st come to me.
But speak the words of comfort, my spirit healed shall be.
o Lord, Thou art all holy, the angels thee adore;
How, then, ought I sincerely my wrongs and sins deplore!
But when Thou soon will enter, my heart, my sinful heart,
Then heal me, be my shelter, for Thou my Saviour art.
O Lord, how can I thank Thee for such a gift as this?
A gift which truly filleth my soul with heavenly bliss!
I praise Thee, I extol Thee, I love Thee O my Sire,
Till once in joy and glory, in heav'n I Thee admire.
This is from Godsongs and has the verses used by OCP and which seem in more common use:
O Lord, I am not worthy that thou should’st come to me;
But speak the word of comfort, my spirit healed shall be.
And humbly I’ll receive thee, the bridegroom of my soul,
No more by sin to grieve thee or fly thy sweet control.
Eternal Holy Spirit, unworthy though I be,
Prepare me to receive him and trust the Word to me.
Increase my faith, dear Jesus, in thy real presence here,
And make me feel most deeply that thou to me art near.
Happy morning, sweet the hour, That on which Thou cam'st to me,
Beauteous, too, that glorious power, Which allures my soul to Thee.
Thou for whom I've long been sighing, Jesus now, at length Thou'rt mine,
In Thy sweet embraces lying, Press, oh, press my heart to Thine.
Let not death nor life asunder Rend the bond that makes me Thine;
Ah, how blissful is the wonder That uplifts my heart to Thine,
