Thy Geekdom Come

We're still looking for non-heretical hymns for the Presentation of the Gifts, the Meditation Hymn, and a postlude song for while everyone is leaving after the general recessional.

Post your suggestions.

We have to limit our Latin to the songs sung by the choir alone, because half the people who will be there are Protestant.

I've NEVER had the choir only doing a Presentation Song. They're usually all about the congregation and just barely about Jesus, so naturally everyone joins hands and sings along and pats themselves on the back. :P:

We picked "Lord, who at Thy first Eucharist" for the Preparation Hymn because it's Jesus centered, but also has an ecumenical edge to it, which will be good for Jen's mostly-Protestant family.

Our meditation hymn will be Adoramus Te Christe, since we can get away without Latin there.

We still need a postlude instrumental. Our preludes are Sleepers Awake (Bach instrumental), Panis Angelicus (instrumental), and Ave Maria (Shubert, sung by our very our ji_young).

Any good postludes?

WELL WHAT ARE Y'ALL RESPONDING THEN @_@

I have very vested interest in this topic, since I'll be singing it...lol. And I don't actually recognize some of that music so I hope you guys have some sheet music that I can study... :D

And I second Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring. It's purty.

lol. I did go read it...totally not what I was expecting, I thought you had posted a vast and exhaustive list of all possible traditional yet ecumenical songs for a wedding or something.

Also--Schubert, jiyoung, and Panis Angelicus is gonna be instrumental? Pierce me through the heart, why don't ya...I LOVE that song to pieces.

How about "You are mine" or I've always thought that "What wondrous Love is This" would make a good offertory hymn.

You could do "Trumpet Voluntary" by J.S. Bach for the instrumental postlude. It can be played with an organ, but it sounds much better with trumpet(s).
