We live in this world, where murdering dictators are hosted at White House state dinners, where nutjobs decide they can walk up to a supermarket and just begin killing people, and where people we should expect to act like grownups act like nutjobs and spout off despicable hateful nonsense on the floor of our House of Representatives.
And that's just the past two weeks, ya'll.
We also live in a world that produces the occasional composer like Morton Lauridsen, and conductors like JungPyo Hong, and choirs like Gloria Chorale of Seoul Jangshin University.
This is just utterly beautiful, and gives cause for hope. All is not lost, by any means. Those people referenced in the first paragraph most likely are, but we aren't obligated to follow them to Perdition.
OldSouth hopes his loyal readers will take about six minutes out of the day, and let this music do its work.
Happy Saturday, ya'll. Translation below.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ's love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
As we are gathered into one body,
Beware, lest we be divided in mind.
Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease,
And may Christ our God be in our midst.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
And may we with the saints also,
See Thy face in glory, O Christ our God:
The joy that is immense and good,
Unto the ages through infinite ages.
Amen.
