English. Text: Andrew D. Ciferni, Anthony Corvaia.
This new hymn, with words by Andrew Ciferni and music by Normand Gouin, was chosen as the official hymn of the 2015 World Meeting of Families, and it will be used at the liturgies in Philadelphia during Pope Francis' first visit to the United States. This festive concertato features brass and percussion, and includes a special introduction appropriate for a solemn procession. The arrangement may also be pared down to fit available musical resources and liturgical use. It includes a second text, by Anthony Corvaia, that invokes the Holy Spirit and is appropriate for general use and for Pentecost. A special optional verse is provided for use at Confirmation and Ordination. Part of the Cathedral Series.
