    According to the RCIA book, a hymn can be sung when there is a large number of adults to be baptized, instead of an acclamation after each baptism. I'm looking for suggestions.

    If you have a relatively competent SATB choir, Sicut Cervus is most appropriate.

    Just please don’t sing Carey Landry’s “You Have Been Baptized”. They used to sing that after every baby being baptized when I was a kid.

    And the second and third parts Sitivitetc... At most Baptisms we have we sing Sicut Cervus, Palestrina setting. Our Children think that this is normal!

    Tom,

    How many different settings of Sicut Cervus or Sitivit anima mea do you use.

    The Chant and the Palestrina setting... I am sure there must be others.
