TWO FUNERALS IN A ROW THIS WEEK

and not one request for the "Greatest Hits".

I have to interject, because this doesn't happen often...

WOOHOO!

My hymn list for the past two funerals (Wed. and Thurs.) went like this as a result:
Introit hymn: For all the saints (Sine Nomine)
- Note: my boss often cites it in his funeral homily, so I program it often, but never during Lent, because of the "alleluias".
Psalm: My Shepherd is the Lord (Gelineau)
Alleluia: Twynham (F F F c c/d Bflat A Bflat c/Bflat A G F F)
Offertory: Jesus, Son of Mary (Adoro Te/Mode V)
- Note: We Celebrate and Journeysongs 2 have Jesus, Lord, Have Mercy, which is the last three verses, altered. I use Jesus, Son of Mary from Hymnal 1940/1982.
Mass: People's/Danish
Communion:
- Wednesday: Keep in Mind (Deiss)
- Thursday: The Lord is Kind (Peloquin/from Songs of Israel, Volume 2)
Final Commendation: Saints of God (Proulx)
Recessional: In Paradisum (Mode VII)

Peace,
BMP

Sometime you may want to give Sr. Theophane Hytrek's Psalm 22 (23?) a look.

Very nice setting, optional flute, easy-to-learn refrain, not a difficult psalm-tone-like solo line.
