We sing it to Winchester Old (While shepherds watched) which helps with the backwards/forwards theme of Candlemas.<br /><br />There are several more hymns for Candlemas:<br />Fr.Faber's "Joy! joy! the Mother comes:"<br />Santeuil's "O Sion, open wide thy gates," translated by Caswall,<br />the Anglican, Christopher Wordsworth's " O Jerusalem, beloved,",<br />A.E.Alston's "Praise we now the holy Light,"<br />and <br />W.J.Copeland's translation, "Hail! Mary, full of grace," from the Paris Missal.<br /><br />Let me know if you would like the words of any of these.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />John U.K.John F H Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032884551581324489noreply@blogger.com
