Say What?

Thursday, November 27, 2008
I attended an ecumenical Advent service the other day. One of the hymns chosen was one with which I was not familiar: Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending.

I seemed to be the only person who batted an eyelash at the second verse, which begins, "Every eye shall now behold him robed in dreadful majesty."

Dreadful majesty? Maybe they meant this?



Or not.

AH HAAA HAAA HAA! Lmao!

Btw, it's one of my favourite hymns, especially the recording by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band!

I had never heard it before; I did think the choice of "The Angel Gabriel" was pushing the envelope a bit by the Catholics at an ecumenical event...

Another favourite: "Most highly flavoured gravy....Glooooria!"
