"Laudate Dominum", Op.149 Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) Stephen Kennedy, director; Henry Webb, Hook & Hastings organ This work was performed at the Communion on Sunday, October 7, 2018 celebrating St. Francis with the blessing of the animals. In this live recording, you will hear the sounds of animals mingling with the sounds of the congregation. Translation: Praise the Lord, all nations; Praise Him, all people. For He has bestowed His mercy upon us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever, and for generations of generations. Amen.

Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength: Such a Light, as shows a feast: Such a Feast, as mends in length: Such a Strength, as makes his guest. Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart: Such a Joy, as none can move: Such a Love, as none can part: Such a Heart, as joyes in love.
