Yes, I know I posted this hymn yesterday: but today’s encore is special to my fellowsoldier Evelyn, who loves this rendition of it by Libera. Evelyn and I go back a long way. She does the Lord’s work in the midst of his enemies. And I’ve never told her this before, but I say it now: Evelyn, you are an inspiration to me.
And we must all be inspirations to each other–because the Lord is with us.
This is the “Voci San Bellino” Choir from Padua, Italy, performing Gloria in Excelsis Deo–“Glory to God in the Highest”–by Camille St. Saens.
Remember, the hymn shop is open to all, 24/7. If there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted here, just let me know.
Turn the volume way, way up and give thanks to the Lord of Lords, who has given our country yet another chance–He doesn’t have to do that, you know! Anyway, this hymn, Gloria in Excelsis Deo (“Glory to God in the Highest”) by Saint-Saens, sung by Libera, seems to me greatly suitable to the occasion.
May the irresistible power and grace of God free us from the delusions that have led us so far astray for so long–free us, and lead us back to sanity.
And may God give us the courage and the wit to do our part: because, boys and girls, our country will not survive another Obama.
I hope you don’t mind my posting this again–Gloria in Excelsis Deo, by Camille Saint Saens. I love it! And I heartily recommend turning up the volume for it, too–let ‘er rip! “Glory to God in the highest” is what the Latin means. Amen!
This, of course, is an encore performance of Camille Saint Saens’ Gloria in Excelsis Deo. I recommend you turn the volume way, way up!
I have long loved this melody by Camille Saint-Saens, from his Organ Symphony. It crops up here and there, in unexpected places–like, for instance, as the theme music for the movie, Babe (yeah, the one about the pig: “If I had words, I’d make a day for you…”).
I just knew there had to be a hymn that went with this music. And today I sought, and today I found.
Turn the volume up for this one! It’s in Latin–but you don’t need to be Thomas Aquinas to know that Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pacem hominibus means “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to men.”
Can you give me Hallelujah?
