Every Easter Mass, I can't get through this without choking up and weeping. Especially the third verse, "Where the angels ever sing." My normally strong tenor is just mush.
Splendid. I recently read on a BBC site that this is the most popular Easter hymn of all. I love the Easter Vigil. Great to see so many priests - I always feel they look especially radiant and holy on this night!
Beautiful rendition of an Easter hymn. What I found interesting was the number of priests with chasibles, no deacons to be seen. If all the priests were from the university, there must be a priest for every 10 students!!!
They were Holy Cross priests that were assigned around the country by the Congregation of Holy Cross and many of them (not all) go to South Bend for Ordinations weekend (which is always the weekend succeeding Easter).
LYRICS: Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia! Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia! Who did once, upon the cross, Alleluia! Suffer to redeem our loss, Alleluia! Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia! Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia! Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia! Sinners to redeem and save, Alleluia! But the pain which He endured, Alleluia! Our salvation hath procured, Alleluia! Now above the sky He's king, Alleluia! Where the angels ever sing, Alleluia! Sing we to our God above, Alleluia! Praise eternal as His love, Alleluia! Praise Him, all you heavenly host, Alleluia! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia!
God bless us let us help one another to back to normal our situation and back to school the children and youth. Thank you so much po. From Lani D. Nepomuceno. Philippines

@@johnflynn1589 I haven’t heard it as a processional hymn at my Lutheran church in years-looking forward to hearing it again with a trumpet or even a brass quintet
Beautiful song 🎶 I’ll be back to campus after Easter I can’t wait to be on the campus after being away for two years due to this Covid pandemic and now since we don’t have to wear a mask I’m thrilled I can’t wait to go back to normalcy.
No it hasn't. It almost like that Catholic Priest who says "standing during the mass is an ancient form" that only happened in the 10-12 hundreds. Not that Ancient
@@thomashogan4908 Maybe i should have explained. The bible says the ones who put on these displays of love for jesus and claim they never would have crucified the Lord, demostrate they are the choldren of those who killed the Lord. Catholics are the worst offenders.
Questions How many Priests were involved in this service cos I hav'nt seen that many before. Why were people clapping at the bishop and where abouts is this.
I think there were about 100 or so priests, and the claps were actually directed towards the three new priests (with the blue stripe garments) just ahead of the bishop because they were just ordained.
@@johnflynn1589 I myself have became a alter server at my loco church I start before covid-19 hit. Then when covid-19 arrived it came to a stand still.
@@thomashogan4908 The history of this song is a bit complex because the original author is unknown and the current versions we have today derived from three different 14th century manuscripts: (a) Munich Manuscript (b) Prague Manuscript (c) Engelberg Manuscript Each manuscript had variations of the original, while retaining some of the verses of that original. Since that time other songwriters in translation (including Charles Wesley) have penned other variations by either adding or removing some verses of the hymn. For instance, Wesley is said to have written and added the 4th stanza of the current version we have today. So, although Marsha is not 100% correct on Wesley writing this hymn, she is not entirely wrong either given that at least one stanza was written and added by Wesley.
Naturally..he's the one behind the camera...i bet he's a chorister cause his notes and timing are correct. Thank you to him for letting us a peep into this Majestic hymning!
And what's with the bells? How ridiculous that sounds! Obviously the people at Notre Dame have no concept of what bells are used for in Catholic worship. Sad...
@@christinebutler7630 This is no compromise. There is no Catholic precedent for 'pealing' tower bells for a closing hymn. Pealing bells announcing Mass, for the Consecration, for Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament--yes, but not for a closing hymn, even though it be on Easter Sunday. You were clearly not raised in the Catholic tradition.
I know this is an old post, but let me tell you, Michael, you sound like a stiff pharisee from two thousand years ago. Complaining about a peal of bells during a jubilant hymn, as you cling piously to this small liturgical pedantry as if it was Law. Not much in worship is so minor a bone of contention than an ill placed (in your opinion) joyous tumultuous ringing of bells. Apparently you gave a new commandment, "Thou shall not ring thy bells when it might offend the Michaels of a certain temperament and disposition" Leave room for the Spirit. You sound as brittle as rigor-mortis. However silly those bells may sound they ring more free, Joyful and sacred than your words which resound like a crashing cymbal or a clanging gong.
@@johnflynn1589 he's probably never been to a church. He doesn't know that there's one entrance/exit. And that we Christians have a different "party" than other people. Just let him talk his non-existing knowledge. We know GOD does love him even if he's not a believer.
This is a huge Catholic basilica at a Catholic university. There are a lot of priest it’s Easter Sunday most likely and that’s why. If your a Protestant bible born again kind of Christian you probably never seen this you should go visit a Catholic Church on a Sunday and learn for yourself. Catholics are Christians we are the original and first Christians.
