Finding in Temple - Ideas?

Olbash

Any hymns or anthems come to mind related to the Finding in the Temple?

I'm a little rusty at this, but...
Be Thou my vision comes to mind?

Perhaps the "Ave Maris Stella III" - the one written in obvious homage to Bach's chorale-preludes - from Dupré's Opus 18 Organ Vespers? (The English-language edition of this - available for free online within the States when I last looked, though users outside America might well have copyright problems with downloads - bears the subtitle "So now as we journey, aid our weak endeavor", which seems somewhat appropriate for the subject, no? And the actual music doesn't appear impossibly difficult.)

Thanks, these are helpful suggestions.

Te gestientem is a hymn about the rosary. It might work to sing the first two verses and the doxology.

Paul F. Ford, thank you for posting the Flor Peeters tune above. It really is lovely. I am going to use verse four on the Feb. 2 Feast of the Presentation.

Isn't it knock-out?! I mean: "salvation clothed in infancy"—heartrending!

Peeters formed my spiritual life when I first started singing him and playing him when I was 14. I've never been the same (I almost wrote "never been sane") since.

Wow, such a lovely tune and fabulous text.

This is wonderful. I've never been happier to have to put something into Finale! :)

Paul, do you have a tune name for this? Wonderful!

Paul F. Ford

Bruce, I have this in Finale already. How can I send it to you.

No tune name, as far as I know.

Interesting, Paul, how five years ago you provided a bit of the bio of the Sulpician priest, Michael Gannon:

He is better known today as a great historian: Dr. Michael Gannon, Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of History University of Florida.

One of his earliest works of history was a biography of the first bishop of St. Augustine, FL, Augustin Verot. Available in GoogleBooks:

Paul F. Ford

Thanks, Father Ron. Alan Hommerding caught me up on this just today. I need to write Dr. Gannon to thank him for the gift he gave me.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the hymn "In His Temple now Behold Him" which is found in many hymnal, including St. Michael's at #580. Sung to the well known St. Thomas tune.

Dr. Ford, are there other settings for the other mysteries?

Paul F. Ford

Yes! And J. Michael Thompson wrote texts for the Luminous Mysteries! Let me get permission from WLP before I post them here.
