As I continue my survey of Catholic Worship Book II, I am mainly coming across traditional hymns.
I have already blogged elsewhere:
250 Prepare the Way another from Brian Boniwell in CWB II
251 Wait for the Lord a TAIZE chant.
This is a song often known as “Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying” in a translation by Catherine Winkworth, but there is more than one translation in use.
The text in CWB II is Harry Hagan’s paraphrase and translation of the Philipp Nicolai text, which is copyright.
It is set to Bach’s harmonisation of Nicolai’s arrangement of Hans Sachs’s WACHET AUF.
BIAB should not go near Bach.
