In this section, we're going to cover the "B"s and "C"s.  We left off at #39, so our next number will be 40.  Reminder - this series only involves hymns that have made it into one of the following hymnals:

- Worship (1971)

- Worship II (1975)

- Worship - Third Edition (1986, or for short, Worship III)

- Worship - Fourth Edition (2011, or for short, Worship IV)
We'll add better hymns from other hymnals in a future project, perhaps dub it The ULTIMATE Catholic Hymnal.  Wait!  There already is one of those: the Graduale Romanum!

40. Be Joyful, Mary, Heavenly Queen (Worship II, #35).  I would also include the Latin Regina Caeli, Jubila.  Tune: Regina Caeli Jubila.  Key of E (right in between the E-flat that appears in Worships I and II and the F that appears in Worships III and IV).  Keeps organists alert also.  Hey, if one can play in four flats, I'm sure he/she can play in four sharps.

41. Be Still, My Soul, the Lord is on Thy Side (Worship II, #36).  Tune: Finlandia.  Key of F with footnote: "For lower key, see This Is My Song".

42. Behold Our Good and Great High Priest (Worship I, #156).  Tune: St. Anne.  Key of C, but with a footnote: "For lower key, see O God, our help in ages past".

43. Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs (Worship III, #718, but I would restore the text as it appears in the 1976 and 1979 We Celebrate hymnals).  Tune: In Babilone.  Key of G.
44. Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word (Worship II, #37)  Tune: Liebster Jesu, with the J.S. Bach harmony.  Key of G.
45. Blest be the God of Israel (Worship III, #6 - note the change from "Blessed", to reflect the single syllable!).  Tune: Forest Green.  Key of F.
46. By the Babylonian Rivers (Worship II, #38)  Tune: Kas Djiedaja.  Key of D minor.
47. Christ Is Alive, Let Christians Sing (Worship III, #467)  Tune: Truro.  Key of C.
48. Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation (First tune) (Worship II, #43 for the text, plus the missing verse "All that dedicated city..." that appears in the "supplemental tunes" section of Hymnal 1940).  Tune: Westminster Abbey (the tune that appears in Worship III).  Key of G.
49. Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation (Second tune) (see note in first tune about the text).  Tune: Eden Church (the tune that appears in Worship II).  Key of C minor.
50. Christ Is the King, O Friends, Rejoice (Worship II, #44) Tune: Gelobt sei Gott. Key of C.
51. Christ Is the World's Light (Worship III, #543) Tune: Christe Sanctorum.  Key of D.
52. Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands (Worship II, #45) Tune: Christ Lag in Todesbanden (but use the J.S. Bach harmony that appears in Hymnal 1982, #186).  Tonic: D in the people's book (C key signature), with Tonic C (B-flat key signature) as a "low key option" in the organ book.
53. Christ, Mighty Savior (Worship III, #681) Tune: Mighty Savior. Key of F.
54. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Wesley text, first tune) (Worship II, #47).  Tune: Llanfair.  Key of F.
55. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Wesley text, second tune) (Worship II, #46).  Tune: Gwalchmai.  Key of G.
56. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Victimae Paschali Laudes paraphrase, first tune) (Worship III, #461).  Tune: Heil, uns Heil, Alleluia (titled Victimae Paschali in most hymnals, but using this We Celebrate reference to avoid confusion with the chant version of the Easter Sequence).  Key of A-flat.
57. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Victimae Paschali Laudes paraphrase, second tune) (Worship III, #452).  Tune: Christ Ist Erstanden (some hymnals title this tune as Surgit in Haec Dies).  Tonic: D.
58. Christ, upon the Mountain Peak (Worship III, #701).  Tune: Mowsley.  Key of F.
59. Christ Was Born on Christmas Day (Worship III, #396).  Tune: Resonet in Laudibus.  Key of E-flat.
60. Christian, Do You Hear the Lord (Worship III, #594).  Tune: Orientis Patribus (sometimes titled Concordi Laetitia).  Key of F.
61. Christians, Lift Up Your Hearts (Worship III, #538).  Tune: Salve Festa Dies.  Key of F.
62. Church of God, Elect and Glorious (Worship IV, #733).  Tune: Abbot's Leigh, with footnote: "Alternate tune: Hyfrydol.  See Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!"  Key of C.
63. City of God, Jerusalem (Worship III, #362).  Tune: Purpose.  Key of F minor.
64. Come, Christians, Join to Sing (Worship IV, #628).  Tune: Madrid.  Key of A-flat.
65. Come Down, O Love Divine (Worship II, #49).  Tune: Down Ampney.  Key of D.
66. Come, Holy Ghost (Worship II, #50).  Tune by Louis Lambillote.  Key of F.  Footnote: "For Latin, see Veni, Creator Spiritus".
67. Come, Let Us Join Our Cheerful Songs (Worship II, #51).  Tune: Nativity, with footnote: "Alternate tune: Graefenburg.  See Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayers".  Key of B-flat.
68. Come, Lord, and Tarry Not (Worship II, #52).  Tune: St. Bride.  Key of G minor in the people's edition, with F minor as "low key option" in the organ book.
69. Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life (Worship II, #53).  Tune: The Call.  Key of E-flat.
70. Come Now, and Praise the Humble Saint (Worship III, #694) Tune: Land of Rest. Key: F.
71. Come, Rejoice before Your Maker (Worship II, #54, with second verse from Worship III, #664).  Reason for the different second verse: the directive from the Vatican regarding use of the names "YHWH" (often rendered "Yahweh") and "Jehovah".  One of the few changes Worship III made for the better.  Tune: Jubilate Deo.  Key of D.
72. Come, Sing a Home and Family (Worship IV, #439).  Tune: Mozart (Worship IV uses Carol, which is best known with the Christmas carol It Came upon the Midnight Clear.  Although the tune works fine with the Christmas carol, it probably wouldn't work as well with other texts.  Key of F.
73. Come, Thou Almighty King (Worship II, #55).  Tune: Italian Hymn (also titled Trinity and Moscow in many hymnals).  Key of F (the low-key option in Worship II).
74. Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus (Worship I, #3).  Tune: Stuttgart.  Key of F.
75. Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain (Worship II, #58).  Tune: Ave Vero Virginum (also titled Gaudeamus Pariter).  Key of F.
76. Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy (Worship III, #756).  Appears in Worship III as Come, YOU Sinners, Poor and Needy.  Let's use the original "Ye".  Tune: Restoration.  Key: F minor.
77. Come, Ye Thankful People, Come (Worship II, #59).  Tune: St. George's Windsor.  Key: F.
78. Comfort, Comfort, Ye My People (Worship II, #60).  Tune: Bourgeois (also titled Freu Dich Sehr in some hymnals).  Key of F.
79. Creator of the Earth and Skies (Worship II, #61).  Tune: Agincourt.  Key of C minor.
80. Creator of the Stars of Night (Worship III, #366).  Let's add the Latin Conditor Alme Siderum to the mix also.  Tune: Chant, Mode IV.  Tonic: G (yields a high note of "C").
81. Creator Spirit, by Whose Aid (Worship II, #62).  Tune: Es Ist Das Heil.  Key of D.
82. Crown Him with Many Crowns (Worship II, #63).  Tune: Diademata.  Key of D.
83. Crux Fidelis (Part of the English in Worship II, #507).  With English Faithful Cross.  Tune: Chant, Mode I.  Tonic: C.

WORSHIP - Ultimate Edition (Part I)

On my most recent episode of iSNARK!, we discussed The Evolution of Worship, how the four editions of GIA's flagship hymnal (1971, 1975, 1986, and 2011) evolved over the years (and not necessarily for the better).

Now, as a follow-up, after compiling on one giant spreadsheet (well over 900 entries), I am narrowing it down to a new book I'd like to put together and dubbing the project Worship - ULTIMATE Edition, utilizing the best hymns of the four editions.

Instead of putting hymns in "categories", which has been the case of all Worship editions except Worship II, I'm going to follow the Worship II pattern by putting all titles in alphabetical order.  The St. Michael Hymnal emulates this pattern, as did the venerable (but sadly out-of-print) Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual Canticles.  Some Latin titles will have English translations with them.  Any hymns that may be high will be assigned an alternate low-key in the organ book (for example, #5 would appear in the people's edition in the key of F, but in both F and E-flat in the organ edition).  The hymnal specified next to each entry is for the version of the hymn that appears in that particular hymnal.

In this first installment, I will list the "A" titles I narrowed the hymnal down to, preceded by the hymn number I am assigning it.  There are 39 entries beginning with "A" alone.

1. A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing (using the five-verse version at #530 in Worship IV, restoring any original lyric that might have been bastardized).  Tune: Lasst uns Erfreuen.  Key of D.

2. A Message Came to a Maiden Young (Worship II, #1).  Tune: Annunciation.  Key of A-flat.

3. A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (Worship I, #84 - the Frederick Henry Hedge translation).  Many may argue against this hymn because of its author/composer (Martin Luther).  It's too bad he defected.  However, the verses of this hymn can easily be used in a Catholic context, and (in my own snarky opinion) has a better theology than anything former Lutheran/now UCC member Marty Haugen ever wrote for Catholic or Lutheran hymnals.  Tune: Ein' Feste Berg.  Key of C.

4. A Stable Lamp Is Lighted (Worship III, #385).  Tune: Andujar.  Key of A minor.

5. Accept, Almighty Father (Worship II, #4).  Tune: Gott Soll Gepriesen.  Key of F in the people's edition.  Low-key option E-flat.

6. Adoro Te Devote (Worship II, #5), with the English Godhead, Here in Hiding.  Tune: Chant, Mode V.  Key of D.

7. Again We Keep this Solemn Fast (Worship III, #420).  I think Fr. Scagnelli would be honored that his texts are making the cut. :)  Tune: Erhalt uns, Herr.  Key of E minor.

8. Ah! Holy Jesus, How Has Thou Offended (Worship II, #6).  Tune: Herzliebster Jesu.  Key of G minor in the people's edition.  Low-key option in F minor.

9. All Creatures of Our God and King (Worship II, #8).  Tune: Lasst uns Erfreuen.  Key of D.

10. All Glory Be to God on High (Worship III, #527).  This text is ok, but it could be better replaced by the translation (and harmonization) found in the very first edition of We Celebrate (1976).  The translation in We Celebrate is by the late Catherine Winkworth.  Tune: Allein Gott in der Hoh.  Key of G in the people's edition.  Low-key option in F.

11. All Glory, Laud, and Honor (1st Tune) (Worship II, #9). Tune: St. Theodulph. Key: B-flat.

12. All Glory, Laud, and Honor (2nd Tune) (Worship III, #810, but using the text in Worship II).  Tune: a metrical rendition of Gloria, Laus, et Honor (or just use the straight Mode I chant).  Tonic: D.

13. All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name (Worship II, #10). Tune: Coronation.  Key of F (which is the low-key option in Worship II's organ book).

14. All My Heart this Night Rejoices (Worship II, #12). Tune: Warum Sollt Ich. Key of F.

15. All People that on Earth Do Dwell (Worship II, #14, but I would follow Jeff Ostrowski's cue and use the version that is in the Vatican II Hymnal, page 204, so if I want to use the Vaughan Williams arrangement, all the words will match; I'd still add the Praise God, from whom all blessings flow as an alternate "doxology" verse).  Tune: Old Hundredth.  Key of G.

16. All Praise to Thee, for Thou, O King Divine (Worship II, #15).  Tune: Engelberg.  Key: F.

17. All Praise to Thee, My God, this Night (Worship II, #16).  Tune: Tallis' Canon.  Key of G.

18. All Things Bright and Beautiful (Worship II, #17).  Tune: Royal Oak.  Key of G.

* All Who Put their Faith in Jesus (Worship IV, #904) - This hymn would be replaced by Ye Who Claim the Faith of Jesus (Hymnal 1982, #'s 268 and 269) using Den des Vaters sinn Geboren as the first tune (key of D) and Julion, a David Hurd gem (key of F), in that order.  We'll assign numbers when we get to the "Y" section.

19. All You Who Seek a Comfort Sure (Worship III, #490) - This hymn would be retitled All YE Who Seek a Comfort Sure, thus what looks like a "mis-sequencing".  Tune: Kingsfold.  Key of E minor.

20. All You Who Pass this Way (Worship III, #440) - probably the only Taize piece that will make the cut.  Tune by Jacques Berthier.  Key of F-sharp minor.

* Alleluia, Alleluia, Praise the Lord, His Glories Show (Worship II, #18) - To be replaced by Praise the Lord, His Glories Show and re-numbered in the "P" section.  The tune will be Llanfair (Key of F).

20. Alleluia, Alleluia, Ye Redeemed in Thanks Unite (Worship I, #49), one of a couple of "Hungarian Mass Songs" found in Worship I and II.  Tune: Alleluia Song.  Key of F.

21. Alleluia! Sing to Jesus (Worship II, #19), and using the harmony from Worship II as well.  Tune: Hyfrydol.  Key of F.

22. Alleluia! Song of Gladness (Worship III, #413) Tune: Dulce Carmen.  Key of G.

23. Amazing Grace (Worship II, #22) Tune: New Britain.  Key of F, and probably with the harmony that appears in Hymnal 1982.

24. America, the Beautiful (Worship II, #191) Would alphabetize by the actual title here instead of the first line because almost everyone who knows this tune knows it as America the Beautiful, as opposed to O Beautiful for Spacious Skies.  Tune: Materna.  Key of B-flat.

25. Angels from the Realms of Glory (Worship II, #23)  Tune: Regent Square.  Key of B-flat.

26. Angels We Have Heard on High (Worship II, #24)  Tune: Gloria.  Key of F.

27. Around the Throne, a Glorious Band (First Tune) (Worship III, #719). Tune: Jesu, Dulcis Memoria.  Key of A minor.

28. Around the Throne, a Glorious Band (Second Tune) (my own tune at CanticaNova).  Key of B-flat in the people's edition, with A-flat as a "low-key option" in the organ book.  (Note: CanticaNova publishes the tune in A).

29. As the Bridegroom to His Chosen (Worship II, #26)  Tune: Bridegroom. Key of F.

30. As with Gladness Men of Old (Worship II, #27)  Tune: Dix.  Key of G.

31. At the Cross Her Station Keeping (Worship III, #421)  Tune: Stabat Mater.  Key of F (Worship III uses G, but I would drop it to F.)

32. At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing (1st Tune) (Worship I, #53)  Tune: Salzburg. Key: D.

33. At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing (2nd Tune) (Worship II, #29) Tune: Sonne der Gerechtigkeit.  Key of D.

34. At the Name of Jesus (Worship II, #30) Tune: King's Weston.  Key of D minor.

35. Attende, Domine (Worship III, #414), with the English Hear Us, Almighty Lord.  Tune: Chant, Mode V.  Key of C.

36. Ave Maria (Worship II, #32)  Tune: Chant, Mode I.  Tonic: D.

37. Ave Verum Corpus (Worship II, #33)  Tune: Chant, Mode VI.  Key of F.

38. Awake, O Sleeper, Rise from Death (Worship III, #586)  Tune: Azmon (however, I would use the 3/2 time signature instead of 3/4).  Key of G.

39. Away in a Manger (Worship II, #34)  Tune: Cradle Song (Kirkpatrick).  Key of F.

Please note that I'm only working with the titles that are in the four Worship editions.  There are a sizable number of very good selections outside of these volumes that are just as worthy (if not even more worthy) than what you're seeing here.  An eventual project would be to comb other hymnals such as the St. Michael Hymnal, the Adoremus Hymnal, the Vatican II Hymnal, Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual Canticles, the Collegeville Hymnal, and the earlier We Celebrate and People's Mass Book editions.

ASHES TO GO

Not by Catholic clergy (thank God).  At my parish, you won't get ashes without going to Mass.  However, clerics the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island are visiting Kennedy Plaza in Downtown Providence to do just that - "Ashes to go"!

Report on WPRI-TV (Channel 12 Providence)

My son Chris, while awaiting a bus to work, managed to get a pic of the action this morning and send it to me.  My wife Ann read a story online last night that this was going to happen.

Had the priest called herself Catholic, I would have thought "poncho lady", but these truly are Episcopalian clergy, so I won't poke fun.  I only use the "poncho lady" title on those women who claim to be Catholic priests.

While on the topic of Ash Wednesday, the radio station I listen to most often (WROR-FM 105.7 Boston) issued its tip of the day on the Loren and Wally morning show: DON'T WIPE THE DIRT FROM PEOPLE'S FOREHEADS TODAY.  (Incidentally, how many locals remember the late Salty Brine?  Wally from Loren and Wally is his son!)

Also, the last Mass of the day tonight is 6:30 PM, not 6:00.
