  • Psalm 150 “Living Doxology” Grace to You and Peace From
    Season after Pentecost - Psalm 150 July 9, 2017 Haven Lutheran Church Hagerstown MD Readings: John 4: 24-26; Psalm 150 “Living Doxology” Grace to you and peace from God - Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Amen A man was visiting a church for the first time. He was moved by something the pastor said in his sermon, so with a loud voice he shouted, ““Praise the Lord.” Hearing it, a well-meaning member leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder saying, “Sir, we don’t ‘praise the Lord’ here.’ To which another member leaned over and said, “Oh yes we do, we just do it all together when we sing the doxology.” When I attended my first Lutheran potluck supper, the pastor suggested we sing the doxology as our grace before the meal. I had no idea what he was talking about but everyone else seemed to. Together they sang: “Praise God from whom all blessings flow Praise him all creatures here below Praise him above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen” I wondered where the words were so I could learn it. I wondered why these Lutherans were singing a song with a Latin word title — Doxology. The word doxology is derived from Latin but came down from Greek - doxo = glory/praise, logo - Word. If you look it up in the dictionary, it will say doxology is a “hymn of praise.” When we suggest singing THE Doxology, we are specifically referring to the hymn we just sang. That particular doxology was written by Anglican Bishop Thomas Ken in the late 1600s.

    Gathering From Ashes to the Living Font Kyrie First Reading Gn 9:8-15 God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you: all the birds, and the various tame and wild animals that were with you and came out of the ark. I will establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood; there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth.” God added: “This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come, of the covenant between me and you and every living creature with you: I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, I will recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings, so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all mortal beings.” Responsorial Psalm Psalm 25 To you, O Lord Second Reading 1 Pt 3:18-22 Beloved: Christ suffered for sins once, the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous, that he might lead you to God.

In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient while God patiently waited in the days of Noah during the building of the ark, in which a few persons, eight in all, were saved through water.

  • The Doxology to the Metrical Psalms
    44 Church Service Society Annual The Doxology to the Metrical Psalms IN recent years an increasing number of congregations throughout the land have revived the Reformation practice of singing the Doxology to the metrical psalms. This is also, incidentally, the normal practice of the General Assem- bly of the Church of Scotland, at its annual meetings. By permission of the Minister of Greyfriars Kirk, Edinburgh, we reprint from the parish magazine the following explanatory note which appeared towards the end of last year : " For some months now in Greyfriars we have been following the old Scottish practice of concluding the portion of the Metrical Psalms sung in church, with the Doxology sung in the metre appropriate to the particular psalm. These doxologies or conclusions are printed in all the music editions of the Scottish Psalter, and are also found in our books " for the use of Visitors." Copies of a printed page of the seven doxologies can be obtained in the church porch for insertion in any of your own Bibles or Psalters. The purpose of the Doxology or Gloria Patri is really to turn the Hebrew Psalm into a Christian Hymn. The doxology has always been taken for granted in the singing or responsive reading (as we have had this summer at the Evening Services held in Lady Yester's Aisle) of the prose psalms : Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost ; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen. Surely it is equally appropriate to conclude a familiar and beloved metrical psalm such as : How lovely is thy dwelling-place, 0 Lord of hosts, to me ! The tabernacles of thy grace how pleasant, Lord they be ; with a devout ascription of glory and honour to the Triune God of our Christian Faith : To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, and is, and shall be evermore.

  • Mysterium Fidei! the Memorial Acclamation and Its Reception in French, English and Polish Missals
    Liturgia Sacra 25 (2019), nr 1, s. 69–98 DOI: 10.25167/ls.1000 FERGUS RYAN OP Pontificio Istituto Liturgico, Roma ORCID 0000-0003-1595-7991 Mysterium fidei! The Memorial Acclamation and its reception in French, English and Polish Missals The acclamation after the consecration, commonly termed in English the “Me- morial Acclamation”, was introduced into the Roman Rite of Mass in 1968. Its introduction followed the encouragement of the Council Fathers less than five years earlier for the faithful to participate actively in the liturgy with acclamations1. The implementation of the memorial acclamation either in Latin or in spoken languages was not so straightforward, nor may it be considered complete today. A review of the introduction and implementation of a new people’s acclamation reveals how a change in the liturgy from the Holy See was received and how reception in some regions and languages seems to have influenced the reception elsewhere. Such a re- view may assist future development of the acclamation. 1. Singing after the consecration – a brief history The practice of singing the Benedictus phrase from the Sanctus after the consecra- tion of the bread and wine in the Roman Canon stretches back some centuries before the Second Vatican Council. The first edition of the Ceremonial of Bishops directed the Benedictus to be sung after the consecration at solemn pontifical Masses, not before the consecration: «Chorus prosequitur cantum usq. ad [Benedictus] exclusive […]. Elevato Sacramento, chorus prosequitur cantum [Benedictus, qui venit, &c]»2. The 1 Cf.

  • A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography
    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service.
