Episode 24 - Tantum Ergo (Sung)

Salvete!

Having done music at a Novus Ordo parish for 10 years I was always looking for a way to take older hymns and re-arrange them so that they were palatable by the modern day parishioner - I wanted to introduce the beauty of original hymns even though we didn't have an organ, I would find a way to adapt them. This particular arrangement has been sung by yours truly at countless Catholic retreats, NO Masses and when I led Worship at young adult Adoration nights.

 I plan on releasing more versions of this hymn but chose to save the organ for a more traditional arrangement. This is a favourite of my little ones at bed time - it has a lullaby feel to it. Easy to teach to your children and an uplifting melody to sing to our Lord when you are alone in Adoration or when you pass by a Church.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum 
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.

Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! o'er ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty. Amen.

We are living in dark times (in and outside of the Church) which now more than ever requires you and me, ordinary men and women to fight with all our might for the salvation of souls and our own sanctity. Prayer is the foundation that grounds us as well as the wings that draw us close to God. It is the beginning. Pope St. Pius X's reach was limited by the technology of his day, but what about us? What if we could gather, inspire and call upon a 1,000,000 families to pray the rosary everyday?

If you have any prayers you'd like to request, or comments and/or suggestions - please email me at dylandrego@me.com. Know that if you are listening to this, I am praying for you. Please continue to pray with me and for me and my family.

May everything you do be Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

God Love You!
