Maybe I just heard a "revamped" version. Faith of our Fathers is a great song (alotugh I don't know how old it is or whether it would be appropriate for a wedding).

Guest Eremite Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Full text for Ubi Caritas: [quote]Where charity and love are, there God is. The love of Christ has gathered us into one flock. Let us exult, and in Him be joyful. Let us fear and let us love the living God. And from a sincere heart let us love each other (and Him). Where charity and love are, there God is. Therefore, whensoever we are gathered as one: Let we in mind be divided, let us beware. Let cease malicious quarrels, let strife give way. And in the midst of us be Christ our God. Where charity and love are, there God is. Together also with the blessed may we see, Gloriously, Thy countenance, O Christ our God: A joy which is immense, and also approved: Through infinite ages of ages. Amen.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I prefer the Latin chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oik Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Sorry, I got Ubi Caritas and Amen, el Cuerpo de Cristo mixed up. The Ubi Caritas version I am talking about was indeed a "revamped" version by Bob Hurd. If not familiar with the lyrics, here they are: Chorus: Ubi Caritas est vera est vera Deus ibi est Deus ibi est Verse 3: "May we who gather at this table to share the bread of life become a sacrament of love your healing touch O Christ."

immaculata Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 [quote name='Matty_boy' date='Jun 26 2005, 11:02 AM']I really don't want "Ave Maria" at my wedding. I don't know how my fiancee feels about it, but I think it's really overdone, and I've never heard it sung well at a wedding. It's a hard song to sing, I'll give the singers that, but I'd rather have something simpler but sung well. [right][snapback]624284[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Sing of Mary, pure and lowly Virgin Mother undefiled Sing of God's own Son most holy Who became her little Child Fairest Child of fairest mother God the Lord who came to earth Word made Flesh, our very brother Takes our nature by His birth Sing of Jesus, Son of Mary In the home at Nazareth Toil and labor cannot weary Love enduring unto death Constant was the love He gave her Though He went forth from her side Forth to preach and heal and suffer Till on Calvary He died Glory be to God the Father Glory be to God the Son Glory be to God the Spirit Glory to the Three in One From the heart of Blessed Mary From all saints the song ascends And the Church the strain reechos Unto earth's remotest ends Even the worst singer would have a hard time messing up the melody to this song.

immaculata Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Oh, and it's got a wicked cool harmony if you have more than one singer. Sounds awesome in four parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Joe Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 how about "You are mine" I always though that was appropriate. I don't know how old it is, or if it's considered traditional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photosynthesis Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 [quote name='Colleen' date='Jun 25 2005, 03:27 PM']Definitely. I recommend Gounod's or Schubert's version. [right][snapback]623129[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I like Schubert's version, but he was such a secular kinda guy. I'm always fascinated with music history and the lives of certain composers.... Like you have composers like Poulenc who loved God and the Church, and then you have composers like Verdi who had serious problems with faith. I love studying how it comes out in their music... But even though Schubert wasn't Catholic, his Ave Maria is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photosynthesis Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 [quote name='Raphael' date='Jun 26 2005, 02:44 AM']Iggy will laugh at this, but I'm very fond of Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence and I think one can understand it in the sense of the extreme reverence we should have for marriage, as it talks about Christ descending to save us, His Bride, etc. [right][snapback]623941[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I was going to suggest that hymn too, but wasn't sure it would be liturgically appropriate. It *is* one of my favorites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photosynthesis Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I really love "All Glory, Laud and Honor." It has such a joyful tune! Perfect for a wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I am not traditional enough - I just sang "Wedding Song" as a duet for a communion at a friends wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
