Fold to thy heart thy brother
Over on someone else's LJ, I've just been reading a comment about someone's school hymn. Which has just reminded me to muse what a bloody odd choice my school made.
( O Brother Man )
( O Brother Man )
Yep, that's how we sang it (the nature of the tune meant that you did sort of land quite heavily on the '-age' of 'heritage' anyway so it was a bit unavoidable).
Possibly also "Trinitay" in your St Patrick example, though without the rest of the words that might be just a red herring.
Ah no, it it rhymes with "three" further on. Words here (and I think that page plays audio at you if you haven't bvggered up your plugins like wot I have). The "Christ be with me, Christ within me" bit is the bit that gets a completely different tune.
Totally know what you mean about the commas and things in hymns. There's another one that always irks me when people get it wrong, but I can't remember it, may well be the same one you're thinking of. :) When I say "people get it wrong" I generally mean "people look at me funny when I sing through the bit where they're all taking a big breath".
"Where meek souls will receive him, still" is a good one to catch at Christmas time.
And it is nearly Christmas time for singing purposes!! :) We have already started work on the Christmas stuff in choir, but I always want to do more carols, I just can't get enough.
