Holy Is the Temple
Celebrating the Mystery of the Church
Bob Hurd
Intended both for regular Sunday liturgy and special occasions such as the dedication or anniversary of a church.
Music that celebrates the mystery of the Church
We cannot truly celebrate the mystery of Christ without also celebrating the mystery of the Church, sent as sign and instrument of his risen presence to the world. This is the thread running through Holy Is the Temple. It is intended both for regular Sunday liturgy and special occasions such as the dedication or anniversary of a church. In either context, this music invites the assembly to embrace anew its mission as the Body of Christ.
16 original songs in a variety of styles
The 16 original songs reflect a diversity of styles, including hymnody, chant, contemporary and world music. Bob has written new settings for the sprinkling rite, Gloria, alleluia, Lamb of God and several psalms. This inspired music can be used for gathering, preparation, Communion and sending forth, as well as the specific components of the rite of dedication.
Celebrate your assembly''s role as Church -- a temple built of living stones -- with the music of Holy Is the Temple.
"The collection is highly recommended, not only for special celebrations of church, but also for those ordinary times when the rhythm of weekly Eucharist slowly forms and shapes a local community''s awareness of itself as the Body of Christ."
-- Judith Kubicki, Worship
