Freeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel Thread ~ HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! ~ June 20, 2010

WHAT MAKES A DAD

God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece was complete,

And so, He called it ... Dad.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

This is the Malotte setting of "The Lord's Prayer", written early in the 20th Century.

My mother was introduced to it at South Philadelphia High School in the Thirties as a choral work. (This was back before the courts got involved in such matters.) Although Catholic, she valued this Protestant setting as one of her favorites.

At her funeral in 2002, it was sung by a soprano cantor and the priest, who joined her in harmony in the middle section. The priest had a fine lyric tenor voice that was too small for the opera house, so he chose the priesthood instead.

It was a beautiful rendition and touched me deeply.

Yes Publius - I am a tenor and was one of the cantors at my church for a number of years - the Malotte Lord's Prayer is one of my favorites.
