Something to listen to!

Ascension Day: Thursday 10th May


Some beautiful Gregorian Chant for you to listen to, on this day of the mysterious ascension of the Lord:

Viri Galilaei, quid admiramini aspicientes in caelum?
Alleluia: quemadmodum vidistis eum ascendentem in caelum, ita veniet,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Omnes gentes plaudite manibus:
jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto
Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper
Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Ye men of Galilee, why do you wonder, looking up to heaven?
Alleluia, He shall come back as you have seen Him going up into heaven,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. 
O clap your hands, all ye nations;
shout unto God, with the voice of exultation. 
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now,
And will be forever. Amen.
