Hymns of the Dominican Breviary

A pdf is available of the 1943 publication The Hymns of the Dominican Missal and Breviary by Aquinas Byrnes, O.P.  Personally I’m not very musical yet this is really interesting especially with the notes with the hymns. Head over to Corpus Christi Watershed for more information and to download the pdf.

From the hymn for Lauds of Advent:

Hark to the voice whose thrilling tone

Bids shadows of the night begone!

Vain dreams of earth, and visions, fly!

Christ in His might shines forth on high.

O Sapientia

Tonight begins the O antiphons as we begin the last week of Advent and look forward to Christmas.

O Sapientia

 O Wisdom, O holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care. Come and show your people the way to salvation.

Gaudete

In honor of Gaudete Sunday here’s my favorite version of an appropriate song. And remember it’s rose, not pink. I’m sure your priest will remind you if you forget.
