Hymns for Morning and Evening Prayer - 4 Pieces Per Package
Description
For more than sixteen centuries Christians have sung hymns at Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer. Unlike the psalms and the processional chants of the Mass, these Latin lyrics have meter and rhyme. They are built from a storehouse of scripture and ritual practice: the days of creation, the saga that begins with Abraham and Sarah, the prophets’ images, the Gospel stories, the exhortation of New Testament letters, and the sacramental vision and practice of the Church itself. What should this tradition sound like today? That was a decades-long task undertaken by Aelred-Seton Shanley and shared in these pages. These are his compositions, which may be sung to many chants and other tunes, for Morning and Evening Prayer of each day of the week, and for the mornings and evenings of Advent, Christmastime, Lent, and Eastertime. This volume makes a wonderful companion to any setting of the Liturgy of the Hours and an ideal resource for personal prayer.
From our earliest days, Christian poets have turned to Scripture to fashion hymns for morning and evening prayer. This book continues that tradition.
