God Has Chosen Me (Farrell)
Closing: Go to the World! (Dunstan; tune: SINE DOMINE)
While listening to the gospel that says, “They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic,” I couldn’t help but think of a song we sang at mass in elementary school that has the line, “You don’t need two shirts on your back.” It’s called “Go Tell Everyone” or “God’s Spirit Is in My Heart.” It’s a very interesting song musically, but as the recordings on YouTube show, playing it on organ makes it sound like a carnival song.

I love seeing what your parish does, Mary, because it gets more eclectic all the time. I usually try and find the songs for my edification but the Irish ones have me beat so far.
The Carey Landry “Lay Your Hands” is this one:

One of my friends in the music selection group was thrilled that we recently found real sheet music for Estelle White’s “Gentle As Silence” in a second hand hymnal. She recalled it was the first hymn she had been taught to play and she had always only had someone’s hand written copy. I had the same experience but made a home made version for myself on an ancient computer score program in the 90s.
I must blog “Go Tell Everyone”. I’ve only played it a couple of times many years ago but it was unforgettable. As a late onset Catholic I had no idea of its long use and the tattered music I was given, since mercifully lost, bore little relation to the way the assembly belted it out.

Yeah, it’s an interesting mix. Having a congregation that sings is pretty rare here, and the PP’s main goal is not to lose that. We have five musicians / groups (one middle-age Irish, two younger /youth Irish, one Indian, one African), and they know very different material. There are lots of Polish too, but many have very limited English, so stick to the Polish Mass. That said, I miss the variety of music from home, and having a congregation that is used to learning new material regularly.
