The Glory of the Cross We Sing CWB II 310

308 Lord, You Give the Great Commision

309 An Upper Room

As I continue my survey of the songs in CWB II that I haven’t already covered we leave the Chrism Mass and get to Holy Thursday.

CWB II inexpicably leaves out Dan Schutte’s “As I Have Done For You”, which I think is the best foot washing song in Christendom – they have 5 of his songs in the collection and they are ones that are in such high rotation that no excuse for leaving them out would be believed.

CWB II does, however, include “The Glory of the Cross We Sing” with a text by John Ainslie set to ROCKINGHAM, which is a melody adapted by Edward Miller c18.

The text is here.

The music with the chords, that aren’t in CWB II, I found at Hymnary. and used to do a backing.
