Today while pondering Gregorian Chants (do other people do this?), I came across some gorgeous lyrics written by Hildegard of Bingen. Hildegard was a highly expressive soul, and was one of the most creative, talented women of her time. She loved writing poetry and music; She also wrote the musical drama, Ordo virtutum (Play of the Virtues), which is the earliest known morality play.
I wanted to share this well written chant that moved THIS composer's sailboat among the waters of Provo.
O SuccessoresYou successors of the mightiest lion
between the temple and the alter-
you the masters in his household-
as the angels sound forth praises
and are here to help the nations,
you are among those
who accomplish this,
forever showing your care
in the service of the lamb.
