They sing at the Catholic Parish you attend?!! Must be loads of swimmers there.
One of my favorites has always been Robert Palmer’s (Anglo-Catholic Priest) “Sing of Mary”, unfortunately I’ve never heard beyond the first verse sung at a Catholic Church.
LOL. I couldn't believe that we'd be singing Charles Wesley hymns. In most cases, the words are changed slightly (there seems to be an aversion to thees and thous - except during the Pater Noster). And not a guitar in sight. It's heavenly. In the truest sense of the word.
“Sing of Mary, pure and lowly, virgin mother undefiled ...”?
We did that in Vacation Bible School at our parish in Tullahoma, Tennessee. I think it’s in my Spanish music book (in translation) too - I’ll have to check. Nice easy melody for the congregation, and the Hispanic people would love the content.
