The Feast of the Ascension of the Lord in CWB II

I think we can knock this over in one blog post.

372 A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing

373 Clap Your Hands All You Nations

374 Glorious in Majesty

This one is an absolute delight. It is a relic from the 70s with a text by Jeff Cothran and set to SHIBBOLET BASEDEH a traditional Jewish melody. The text is here.

You can purchase the sheet music at GIA, but fair warning, it will suggest the use of a recorder and a triangle. I still think it is great but I didn’t use those instruments in my backing. BTW I found my first major typo in CWB II – in the third line there is a Cm that should be a Dm.


375 Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise

376 Let the Earth Rejoice and Sing

Like 375, this is set to the familar tune LLANFAIR by Robert William and has a text by Melvin Lloyd Farrell. The text is here.

377 Rejoice! the Lord is King

CWB II has found a couple of really good songs for this feast.
