Looking for a Hymn

voxelbits

Hi all! Just doing some planning and research for our choir's repertoire for the year, and came upon this delightful entrance hymn on Youtube here (around the 20:10 mark): https://youtu.be/mqiYWVyMdTQ?t=20m10s

Would anyone know what hymn this is? Thanks so much!

Don't know the hymn, but the entire Solemn High Mass was wonderful.

I don't know the hymn, but if it's the tune that attracts you in paricular, I wonder if you might enjoy this https://hymnary.org/text/come_christians_join_to_sing

An aside to Kathy:

I was trying to figure out the meter of the hymn in the OP (which would be helpful to nail down in searching tune lists), but your pointing to a 6.6.6.6.D tune made me come across this gem I had not noted before in the 1940 Hymnal, which you might appreciate - the text is Kipling, though the tune is from 1942, as strikes me as a good example of that period of tune-composition:

Hymn tune CATHERINE, sung with the text 'Holy Father, God of might, throned within the hosts of night' in "Together in Song: Australian hymn book II' at no. 622.

I do love that hymn.

Thank's for solving that!

Wow! Thanks, Mark! I love both the tune and text. They are both gems.

Some people find joy discovering the latest video games.

Some people find joy in meeting a paired hymn/hymn-tune for the first time - as well as finding or discovering new pairings for old friends.

I am exclusively in the second group. (But since I don't play keyboard, I sometimes have to just imagine them in my head.)

Fantastic! The text is beautiful. Thanks MarkS!
