Sunday Hymn: Lord of Our Life, and God of Our Salvation

Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,
Star of our night, and Hope of every nation,
Hear and receive Thy church’s supplication,
Lord God Almighty.

Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth;
Lord, Thou canst save when sin itself assaileth;
Lord, o’er Thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth;
Grant us Thy peace, Lord.

Peace, in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging,
Peace, in Thy church, where brothers are engaging,
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging;
Calm thy foes raging!

Grant us Thy help till backward they are driven;
Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, or after we have striven,
Peace in Thy heaven.

— Mat­thäus von Löw­en­stern

Round the Sphere Again: Recommended for Listening

Last Week Would Have Been Better
But we ought to be celebrating the resurrection all year long anyway, right? Here’s some Sacred Heart singing to bring you a little resurrection joy.

When I imagine the saints singing in heaven, it sounds more like this than the Hallelujah Chorus, not because this is more beautiful, but because it’s more real.
