Entrance Hymn for Presentation of the Lord

JPike1028

While we are beginning to implement some chant into our services, and we are doing the processional chant as well as the introit chant for this feast day, we need a hymn as well. Any suggestions? Preferably something from either the new blue Gather or the green Gather.

Here is the section from By Flowing Waters: Chant for the Liturgy.

Do you mean other than the Antiphons, including Lumen ad Revelationem Gentium?

A classic is "Hail to the Lord who comes", in The Hymnal 1940.

Cgz, yes we are already doing the Latin chants.

In addition to several English settings of the Nunc Dimittis, the Worship IV hymnal has two metrical hymns appropriate for the Presentation of the Lord:

Long-Awaited Holy One, #870, 77 77 meter

O Light of Gentile Nations, #871, 7 6 7 6 D meter

Here is my alternatim (unison and SATB alternating) setting of "Adorna, Sion, thalamum" with both the Abelard Latin text and Kathy's translation "Let Zion's bridal-room be clothed" set. It's published here at CPDL, but enclosed is a setting with a keyboard reduction of the SATB sections.

The musical structure of the even numbered stanzas is somewhat akin to the original theme with two variations.
