Cantemos al Senor

This isn’t from AOV at all, but a parishioner has found it and liked it so we are singing it this week at mass as the psalm.  Carlos Rosas who wrote it is in the OCP stable. I initially thought she wanted us to sing in Spanish but there are English lyrics as well.

This Chinese choir sing it nicely, I think in Chinese. For an accordian version follow this link. My backing is MIDI style BIAB.

Verse 1

Let’s sing unto the Lord a hymn of glad rejoicing.

Let’s sing a hymn of love, joining hearts and happy voices.

God made the sky above, the stars, the sun, the oceans.

Their goodness does proclaim the glory of God’s name.
Refrain

A – le – lu – ia!    A – le – lu – ia!

Let’s sing unto the Lord.   A – le – lu   –   ia!

 

Verse 2

Let’s sing unto the Lord a hymn of adoration,

Express unto the Lord our song of faith and hope.

Creation’s broad display proclaims the work of grandeur,

The boundless love of One who blesses us with beauty.

Refrain

Let’s sing unto the Lord.

A – le – lu   –   ia!
