These beautiful traditional Catholic hymns encapsulate the Faith so well. Even though I am not a cradle Catholic, I would dearly love us to return to the Traditional Latin Mass, and the rituals one day with these hymns. They had and still do have real spiritual power. I feel spiritually deprived and lost without them.

A beautiful hymn ardently sung . A standard from another time which plucks at my heartstrings. So much more deeply moving than the current crop of "folk songs"

[@jimshepard7099]

I couldn't agree more . There is a very nasty crop of these which I regret to say do get featured on the BBC's Songs of Praise . I play the organ at a few churches in my area and fortunately I do have a sort of veto so I do try to provide the congregation with some quality of choice .

[@Francis1930]

Jim, I too am an organist and fortunate that I'm attending a Catholic church which only offers the Traditional Latin Mass, and we only sing traditional hymns such as these. I saw Songs of Praise this evening and was absolutely abhorred by the "standard" of "Christian" music they chose. Not every Christian, traditional or not likes the happy clappy "crap" they put on SoP these days!!!!

[@jimshepard7099]

Dear Francis , Thankyou for your reply . You are so right about Songs of Praise - it's awful and what was once a fine programme has been ruined by the so called 'modernisers ' who seem to think that nasty modern religious songs are 'accessible ' to the younger generation . I went to an LCC school and our dear headmistress introduced us children to fine Christian Hymns - and I am very grateful that for example 'One More Step ' hadn't been written . It's pity that it ever was .

[@Randolph1233]

Jim Shepard I love the traditional hymns. But also love One more step along the world I go ! Another one I love is There’s a little wheel a turning in my heart. Some modern ones have profound meaning. Eagles wings was modern at one point in time. Be Thou my Vision was once a brand new hymn. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me - what a wonderful song. Didn’t the psalmist say Sing a new song unto the Lord ?

[@himmelblau23]

@@Randolph1233 I love traditional hymns and (some) modern hymns too. My children and I always used to sing One more step along the world I go at turning points in their lives, and even now they are older, it's a hymn we enjoy together. Purify my heart, and Who am I? are among the modern hymns that really speak to me... and Spirit of God within me is a semi-modern hymn which has words that rival any 19th century for profound theology. And yes, you're right: sing a new song to the Lord!

[@zachlafleur6651]

This is something that we have to get back to at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Fowlerville, MI! For we have a pipe organ built in 1974, that surprisingly as poorly as it was built, really does and can sound really good depending on what stops the organist selects! Oh, that is another problem, our organist was let go before Thanksgiving last year (along with our bookkeeper) and we are still searching for a replacement! All that our organ needs is a insulated organ chamber, and manual and pedal firing point adjustment, and maybe some pipework in terms of tuning and recalibration of that reed rank that was replaced along with a refurbished console installed in 2005!

[@zachlafleur6651]

***** Surprisingly, I do know quite alot about organs (both pipe and electronic), but do not really know how to play them. It is something that I definitely want to learn before too long, though! My experience with instrumental music is from playing the B flat clarinet from age 8 through age 13, and the E flat alto saxophone from age 13 through age 16 (although I still can play pretty well even now with a little practice). I also sing all the time at my church and have been told that I have a good singing voice, so choir would also be a possibility if I could find the time for practice and performance! Oh, and I also have a couple of electronic keyboards (my favorite is velocity sensitive), therefore, it is good to experiment and practice music on with a variety of voices (of course the organ ones are my favorite)! So, anything is possible really soon it is just that I have a full time job and a quite a few interests! To me, a bad organ is better than a good piano, but our A.D. White Pipe Organ has been updated and has not sounded better within the last thirty years! We also have a phenomenal organist, pianist, and choir director in Mrs. Elaine Yanz since last year!

Where is this recorded? I must say all these recordings sound very good. I have attended a few Catholic churches but they didn't seem to want to sing. Its nice to hear Catholics can sing.

[@SoCalCath]

+goodchappy Thank you; I couldn't agree more. Sadly, most churches in southern California no longer sing actual hymns. They use "songs" which fit almost any secular happening, but contribute nothing to worship. Dancing through Communion is so disgusting as to obscure the mystery. Where are all the organists who can play hymns correctly? They are nowhere to be found in RC churches for sure. They do exist; many are Catholic, but find employment in Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc. churches with singing congregations.

[@brucealanwilson4121]

I atttended Mass at a Catholic church where they did sing traditional hymns, but the congregation didn't sing. Most stood with their mouths closed, and some moved their lips but little sound came out. (They had a nice choir and a good organist, though.) I was singing at a good volume--not bellowing, but certainly singing out---and the man behind me poked me and said, "Shut up, Protestant!"

"Branch" of Christianity? I thought that you folks believe that Romanism IS Christianity. In fact, the Orthodox Church probably has the greater claim to be closest to the NT and the early fathers. But, I have no dog in either race. Organized religion tends to be a slave ship rather than any ark of salvation. I am an ex-Anglican, ex-Old Catholic, ex-Roman Catholic, who saw the light and became a radical non-conformist. Freedom at last!

[@annefranciselizabeth3840]

John Henry Newman wrote this hymn as an Anglican Catholic, and not as a Roman Catholic. He became a Romanist later. This is Anglican spirituality at its finest.

[@karleinegraham446]

Why are you so sure whose spirituality John Henry Newman was experiencing. It is well known that John Henry Cardinal Newman had years ( decades) of discernment until he finally made the move into the Roman Catholic Church. The question for all Christians: how am I cooperating with God's grace?

[@annefranciselizabeth3840]

@@karleinegraham446 It is possible to discern which spirituality inspired this great hymn. While numberless senior Anglican clerics have written great hymns, there is NO SINGLE POST-REFORMATION RC CARDINAL that has done so. The doctrine (and ethos!) of Pontifical Infallibility is so pernicious that post-Reformation RC clerics seem quite incapable of composing great hymns, songs, etc. Seems they are not "cooperating with God's grace".
