Hymns for the Chair of Peter

FKulash

Can someone recommend hymns in English for the Feast of the Chair of Peter? Something referring to Matthew 16.16-19, "You are Christ ... You are Peter", would be especially good.

I only have Liturgical Latin Hymns, Perhaps a translation would work https://societyofstbede.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/feast-of-the-chair-of-st-peter-at-rome/

Does this fit the bill?
"Thou art the Christ, O Lord" - St. Mark's Hymnal no. 147

Also there is:
"One Holy Church Thou Hast Ordained" - St. Andrew's no. 203
"Give Glory to Saint Peter" - St. Andrew's no. 196
"O Sing the Great Apostle"

Marc Cerisier

The Divine Office Hymnal contains 3 hymns for this feast:

#365/6 - Good Shepherd, Peter (Iam bone pastor)
#367/8 - Peter the Blessed (Petrus beatus)
#369/370 - The Voice of God, O Fisherman (Divina vox)

Ocp has a hymn by Harry Hagan OSB called “upon the rock of Peter”, set to AURELIA

Tu es Petrus (Palestrina or Perosi) If there is an able choir.

Richard Mix

Perosi has (at least) two settings. But surely one would choose Fauré's Tu es Petrus if 6 or 7vv were too many.

The CPDL page for the Aug. 1 Feast is underpopulated at present and would be a good project for someone already making plans.

PLTT

O Peter who were named by Christ (Stanbrook Abbey Hymnal)
Jesus, your Church was built (J. Quinn SJ)
Lord Jesus Christ, you built your Church (J. Quinn SJ)
O First among the chosen (J. Quinn SJ)
Upon the rock of Peter (G. Glen, OSB)
