Yeah, THAT's the way this should be sung. Heart-lifting. Thanks!!!

[@williamburke8242]

City of God Dan Schutte Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep A new day is dawning for all those who weep The people in darkness have seen a great light The Lord of our longing has conquered the night Let us build the city of God May our tears be turned into dancing For the Lord, our light and our love Has turned the night into day We're sons of the morning, we are daughters of day The one who has loved us has brightened our way Let us build the city of God May our tears be turned into dancing! For the Lord, our light and our love Has turned the night into day God is light, In him there is no darkness Let us walk in his light, his children one and all Oh comfort my people, make gentle your words Proclaim to my city, the day of her birth Let us build the city of God May our tears be turned into dancing For the Lord, our light and our love Has turned the night into day

Music that keeps is grounded to what is truly important!

[@devongaynor5019]

Regularly sang this song at Alpha Convent of Mercy Chapel, in Kingston, Jamaica; at the Sunday mornings mass with the Sisters of Mercy and boys of Alpha Boys School.

[@himlogicc]

I remember singing this when I was in my church’s children’s choir. Best days of my life.

[@ohmightywez]

An epic favorite from the Glory and Praise parts One and Two. So many things happened at my parish during the time they rolled this out. For me, although Mass was always in English, 1976 changed everything from the old to the new. Our little adobe parish church was closed and a new, disco 70s church was built. No more old fashioned confessional stalls, instead we had the modern closet type with the lighted crosses over the door and a sitting area for face to face confession. That was the very confusing year for every child making their first communion. The new church had no communion rail. That was the first year children were instructed to receive communion in the hand and to receive the wine. And our old hymnals were gone and the new hymnals were the Glory and Praise books. My poor parents, their heads almost exploded during my sacramental prep that year. Oh! And the Act of Contrition was revised for the first time. It’s been revised again since then. Of all the things that changed, although I love my parish church where I made my first communion and confession, was confirmed and was married, the only part of all those changes I truly loved and still do was the Glory and Praise hymnal. 76 was the change over year for so many things. I saw an interview with Jack White with Stephen Colbert and you can tell who is older by the fact that they didn’t recognize each other’s favorite hymns. I recognized both. lol

[@nicholasstellhorn9734]

Agree . . . 1976 seemed to be the year a lot of new was rolled out.

[@girlwalkerII]

Finally live music in mass tonight and heard this beautiful and inspirational hymn

[@wandamweber6875]

Will always love this song. It is called the Celebration of the Mass and that is exactly what these young people are doing with this song!!!!

[@an7tmo794]

I hope the people down the balcony are singing joyfully as the choir upstair 🎀

[@yeranstefani]

I love this choir. These young people sing so well. I'm from Kenya.

[@valleyrocktravellers2007]

[@debstaton1022]

Beautiful Catholic Hymn!

[@barbaraweisenberger4711]

Wonderful!😊

[@sergioamericoleite]

When I hear you sing I feel the power of the Holy Spirit ...

[@alexisgem3923]

Beautiful song 🎶

[@richardhutchison3123]

Thank you for this uplifting song. It came to my mind today and now I feel blessed to have hear it once again!

[@seamuskennefick7692]

We used to sing this all the time at my high school masses and retreats. I still know all the lyrics, with pride.

[@PABWECG]

Me too. Every single word!

[@an7tmo794]

It's another of my kindergarten, elementary school songs. Evergreen Catholic 🌱🌲

[@stephenwade570]

What a great and joyful bunch of people. This hymn has been sung at all the major events in my life,University grtaduation, Marriage, childs baptisms. I love hearing it and this group does it so well...takes me back

[@adorehimlordandsavior4214]

Love, love this hymn and this choir!

[@laurenkeegan6968]

Love this song. Thank you guys. You are so talented.

[@travisstoddard5757]

Let us build the city of god and may our tears be turned into singing for the lord and our light and love.WOW I REMEMBER SO MUCH

[@rhowell0317]

This is one of my favorite hymns. Solid job!

[@dextermafu5312]

🥺it’s beautiful 👌

[@joshuaecht]

Also to add, in a non-Mass setting, I've always wondered how these '80s and '90s tunes would sound with pop production. For instance, imagine City of God with horns, a la Chicago, Huey Lewis, or Earth, Wind & Fire. Christ Be Our Light, featuring Amy Grant and Twila Paris (or even Smitty and S.C. Chapman). You Are Mine's power, but with a Elton/Taupin arrangement; tons of triplets and sus chords. We Are Called, with the George Michael gospel feel of One More Try. And a rocking version of Dana Scallon's We Are One Body, featuring Foreigner/Lou Gramm (along the lines/feel of I Want To Know What Love Is).

[@tgilmore52]

Or arranged like the Bonner Family version of How Great Thou Art. It would rock! This version is awesome, too!

[@barryhead6668]

Cant beat this hymns...

[@barryhead6668]

Thats right I miss church right now and them hymns help alot and maybe for you....

[@lizhitchcox9883]

[@dankubinec5170]

[@markvonbank]

[@joaozampieri5899]

Beauty song......I'm from Brazil!!

[@jhs517]

I LOVE IT!!!!!

[@scaldlemon9847]

me and my dad jam out to this when we sing it in church

[@joshuaecht]

I am a traditionalist mostly, but at the same time, this particular song is uplifting. It and others (All Are Welcome, etc.) might not be Mass-appropriate but I listen to them while training for my marathons. All things in their proper place.

[@katiewilliams5643]

The Folk Choir is always Filled our Hearts with Music and Song I Love it So much They Need to Put these Songs on a CD :)

[@nevermind2425]

Very great holy song very good singing university students

[@maaakua8383]

My favorite hymn ❤️

[@katiewilliams5643]

Beautiful love there music

[@cantori2]

Susan from the Parish Council approves!

[@patrickmc3827]

I love Susan, she's so inclusive and I hope she may be a priestess one day!

[@timothyfreeman97]

This is the anthem of all the Novus Ordo Susans of the parish council.

[@louisborselio8608]

Listen at 1.25 speed. Sounds more epic.

[@nicholasstellhorn9734]

Wonder what the priest tells the celebrant at the beginning ? 🤔

[@BrijConsulting]

Changing the world one investor at a time: Jump Mary Jump!

[@MichaelRolfes]

Please release a CD

[@jackmansfield4637]

+Michael Rolfes I'm pretty sure they have one.. I went to see them last Friday in Charleston IL and they said the way they tour is they sell recordings. They sing every Sunday at 11:00 Mass at the Notre Dame Basilica in South Bend.

[@mortonbelcher]

I believe this selection has four verses... I could only discern three verses that were sung... It would be nice if the folk choir could make a video of them singing all four verses, either during a mass or not during a mass... This youtube video is the best rendition of this selection that I've been able to find...

[@disneydanny2]

they actually sang 6 verses (2 verses,chorus,2 verses, chorus, 2 verses, chorus) that's extremely rare in most churches as most don't even get to the 5th verse before they end it

[@mortonbelcher]

I hope someone can find a way to show the choir singing *all* the verses...This selection is a very popular one, and I'm sure there will be another occasion when they sing it either before or at the end of the Mass.. Best wishes to you!

[@daydoro9653]

lets fucking go choir got me hype like im off a 3 day meth bender

[@meganwible8494]

❤❤❤❤

[@chriskitts954]

Who is listening in 2017?😁😁

[@louisborselio8608]

2018

[@tedg9325]

2019 here!

[@VoDucQuang]

As a joke...

[@owensweetland342]

The organ is magnificent! I wish I could say the same for the other instruments but I can't. Folk Mass was the 1970s.

[@petertonies4334]

President DJT, otherwise known as 47-45, just announced this song will be sung at the very moment he steps triumphantly back into the WhiteHouse. This song has been renamed "Country of God" 🙏🏼🗽🇺🇸🦅

[@charles9837]

where can i find this beautiful arrangement! #boredinquarantine

[@PABWECG]

There are two links up above in the description box. One for Spotify and the other for Apple Music. You can listen to a whole album (including this recording) in those places, I believe.

[@disneydanny2]

great job. about the only thing i'd do differently, on the 3rd veese have the men sing :we are sons of the morning: then the Women sing :we are daughters of day" the proceed with the rest of the song as normal

[@klovis912]

+Danny Eyheralde Don't you want the whole congregation to sing, though?

[@disneydanny2]

klovis912 good point

[@ftx453]

This is good music for evangelicalism in the developing world. It doesn’t help the church much in Europe or North America.

[@nkiams]

Is there a way that I could get a recording of this hymn from a very talented choir? Thinking a CD.

[@johndonovan5752]

Check Amazon or Barnes and Noble for music by the St. Louis Jesuits.

[@trinialisha]

I was actually gettkng into it, until it was edited in the ending...(verse/s missing)

[@VoDucQuang]

I awoke from my slumber and went straight to the Traditional Latin Mass.

[@owensweetland342]

It's even better when sung with a large choir. Too bad it's got a tambourine and bongo. Awesome on a pipe organ.

[@mortonbelcher]

Who is the conductor? Who is the organist?

[@disneydanny2]

+mortonbelcher Director: Steven C.Warner Organ: Karen Schneider-Kirner

[@mortonbelcher]

Thank you for providing me with this information.

[@disneydanny2]

your welcome. Steve stepped down as Director and the end of the past school year and when school resumes in August Karen will serve as both Accompanist and interim Director (although she has always been billed as Assistant Director even when she was accompanist)

[@mortonbelcher]

Thank you for the update! I'm sure Karen will do a good job... One other matter! Would you please ask the webmaster not to cut off this particular selection before the end? I think there may have been more to the video that the choir sang. Although I'm not Roman Catholic, (I'm Episcopalian) I really like this selection... my home church's former organist/choirmaster was Roman Catholic (unfortunately he has passed on to his reward) and the whol church was very fond of him.. He taught us this particular selection "City of God," which was well received. I would love to be able to watch/listen to a video of your choir from the beginning, as with this video, to the very end singing City of God... I have heard that a new organ is going to be installed in the chapel... That certainly is good news... Best, Morton Belcher

[@disneydanny2]

I'm actually not affiliated with the choir in any way, I just happened to have the answers to your ?'s

[@patriciascudellari8614]

[@PalmSpringsPatriot]

Organ, yes Guitar, yes. But not together! Cacophony!

[@joyfullbunny]

That poor organ :( and to think it's capable of Bach and instead gets Schutte

[@ndirish4569]

Nori Elisabeth Fahrig it truly got Schutte on

[@p.e.gottrocks4528]

Gag

[@MiMamu-e3c]

Stink langweilig

[@kickpicswebsite]

BEAUTIFUL!!!
