Is anyone familar with a song played early Lent, I believe early Feb. with the lyrics similiar to Do not be afraid,Lift up your voice. I taped it off an ancient tape recorder and it didn’t come out to clear. Would greatly appreciate any help with the lyrics and singer. Thanks brother or sister in J&M. Leslie
Before they change it, does anyone know the song that closes out Sunday night’s compline? Its a choir of some sort. If I remember rightly, there are details on only the first song, not the last. thanks…

I am looking for the artist who sang the Hymn on February 5, 2013- Morning Prayer. Something about gathering…..short memory here. It was beautiful.
I think you may mean The Beatitudes performed by Noirin Ni Riain.
Yes, this is the track. Thank you so much. The voice of Nóirín Ní Riain is so beautiful.
After reading the comments about the Beatitudes, I ordered it from Amazon.

Midday Prayer 1/13/2013
“The One Who Clothes Himself With Light” by The Schola Cantorum of St. Peter the Apostle.
Taken from: http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/15731025
The One who clothes HImself
with light as with a robe
deigned, for our sakes, to become as we are.
Today He is clothed with the streams of the Jordan
even though He has no need to be purified.
He refashions us through the cleansing
that He receives.
What a marvelous wonder!
He creates anew, without fire,
and refashions without tearing apart.
He grants salvation to those enlightened in Him:
Christ our God, the Savior of our souls!
Lyrics for Midday Prayer December 20

Viewing lyrics for O Quickly Come, Great Judge of All by The Schola Cantorum of St. Peter the Apostle.
text: Lawrence Tutiette (1825-1897)
tune: Melchior Vulpius, harm. J.S. Bach
descant: Bart Bradfield
O quickly come, great Judge of all,
For glorious will Your coming be.
All shadow from the truth will fall,
O come and heal that we may see!
O quickly come! for doubt and fear
Dissolve like cloud when You are near.
O quickly come, true Life of all;
Death’s mighty pow’rs do still abound;
In ev’ry place sin’s shadows fall,
On ev’ry heart sin’s mark is found:
O quickly come! for grief and pain
Shall never cloud Your marvelous reign.
O quickly come, O come and save!
Reign all around us and within.
Let sin no more our souls enslave,
Let pain and sorrow die with sin.
O quickly come! for You alone
Can make Your scattered people one.
recorded by the Schola Cantorum of St. Peter’s in the Loop on “Music for Advent II,” published by The Liturgical Press, Collegeville, MN, 1995

This morning the following broken links appeared in my iTunes download:

This happens day after day in iTunes downloads. It has become annoying.
Is there no way you can fix the problem? Sounds reasonable that if you put out a link on the internet, you would make sure there is a file to go with it. If there is no file, then you logically would not publish the link.
@Wayne: try Feedback and Support: http://divine-office.com/support
Wayne, the proper place to report errors is at the Feedback and Support link on the ring side of the page. If you put it in Comments, they may never see it.
So disappointing that you were unable to spare the time or the personnel to fix the broken link for the Office of Readings for Saturday of the 34th week in Ordinary Time for rss, feedburner, iTunes, this website, et al.
Hello. The link for Office of Readings for Saturday of the 34th Week in Ordinary Time is not working anywhere. Likewise, the link for evening prayer for everyday of the first week of Advent, which keep appearing everyday in myiTunes downloads, do not work (err=404) which means “file not found.”
Can you fix?
Can you please tell me what choir sings the Te Deum in the ipad version of the Divine Office? Or where can I get a music sheet for that particular Version of the Te Deum? Thank you very much.
@svmolina3 – You probably need to give more info in order for DO to answer your question. They use several versions of the Te Deum. I can think of at least three myself. They would probably need to know which day you heard it on, and assuming it was during the Office of Readings, whether at the beginning, or if on a feast day, at the end before the concluding prayer.
The particular Te Deum i am referring to was sung this morning, Sunday, Dec 16, Third Sunday of Advent, at the end of Office of Reading. Please give me the name of Album or Singers or where to get the music sheet. Thank you.
@svmolina, that would be Melinda Kirigin-Voss & Vince Clark. It is available on iTunes at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/te-deum-single/id525593426
At first I didn’t like the use of “background” music at evening prayer, but now I’ve grown to find it very nice. Can anyone tell me what those pieces are? Sometimes it’s a violin piece, sometimes it’s a piano piece, but both are beautiful.
Thanks for the Divine Office Podcast. It’s changed my life.
Hey! I did some research and found out that you have the wrong song for Sunday night prayer. “A Radiant Light” is different song from “O Radiant Light”. You have the Christmas song, sung by the Madeleine Cathedral Choir. Which I absolutley love and was pleased to be able to find and download. The lyricsa are simple.
A Raidaint Light
A Holy Light shines on us today
For nto us a child is born
Unto us the Lord is born!
Dominion!
So you will probably have to change the song, keeping th lyrics
or
Keep the song and change the lyrics.
I personally love the song for the night time because it is soothing and restful sounding, my child who is autistic says it relaxes and soothes her! Thanks for allyou do!
