--------------------------------
R. Lord, go up to the place of your rest, you and the ark of your holiness.
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
Let us enter his dwelling,
let us worship at his footstool.
R. Lord, go up to the place of your rest, you and the ark of your holiness.
May your priests be clothed with justice;
let your faithful ones shout merrily for joy.
For the sake of David your servant,
reject not the plea of your anointed.
R. Lord, go up to the place of your rest, you and the ark of your holiness.
For the LORD has chosen Zion;
he prefers her for her dwelling.
"Zion is my resting place forever;
in her will I dwell, for I prefer her."
R. Lord, go up to the place of your rest, you and the ark of your holiness.

Listen to today's Festal Eucharist at St. Thomas Fifth Avenue. Or celebrate at St. Mary the Virgin on Monday, August 15th.

Who could say this is not beautiful? I know that English is a less than perfect language as compared to Latin and Latin less perfect than Greek but I truly can live with Church Music like this for the remainder of my days!
