Song of the Body of Christ (AOV 1/27)

A very popular song amongst our liturgists over the years.  Written by David Haas based on a traditional Hawaiian melody, it is a struggle to sing it sensitively without it becoming tedious.  One solution is to only do the refrain at the beginning and end.  Another is harmonising the refrain, which is somewhat beyond us.

You can see a church ensemble doing a pretty good job of it here.

The text is at Cantus Mundi and you can hear Haas’s version at the internet archive. It can be purchased for download at GIA.

In my backing I just wanted to use the uke button on BIAB for a change.
