    I found this today when I was looking for another prayer in Gregorian chant form (I've temporarily forgotten its name) and this enchanted me :)

    Oh the beauty of simplicity :)

    Here's a few I find very moving:


    Delirious - I could sing of your love forever
    Very popular modern song




    KLF - Justified and Ancient
    Techno beats meets great choir arrangement featuring the late Tammy Wynette.




    P.O.D. - Alive
    It's heavy metal, but give it a chance, I think it will surprise you.




    Ofra Haza - Im Nin'Alu
    Yemenite Traditional with modern instrumental arrangement.





    The Venice Four with Rose Stone and the Abbot Kinney Lighthouse Choir -
    Shine on Me & Troubles of this world

    From the film "The Ladykillers" by the Cohen brothers.




    Down in the river to pray
    Again from the Cohen brothers from their film "O brother where are thou?"



    Superchick - Pure
    Catchy pop song

    From the Byzantine Roman Empire:
    Title: "Αποδεξάμενος ο τύραννος" (Kalophonic Sticheron "When the tyrant saw")
    Service: The Service of the Furnace; The Play of the Three Holy Children

    No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging
    Since Love is Lord of Heaven and Earth
    How can I keep from singing.

    Technically, I'm a day early... but with everything going on tomorrow I thought I'd post this now, in case I'll forget otherwise :o



    Prepare the way, O Zion!
    Ye awful deeps, rise high;
    Sink low, ye towering mountains,
    The Lord is drawing nigh;
    The righteous King of glory,
    Foretold in sacred story.

    Refrain

    O blest is He that came
    In God the Father’s name
    .

    O Zion, He approacheth,
    Thy Lord and king for aye!
    Strew palms where He advanceth,
    Spread garments in His way.
    God’s promise faileth never,
    Hosanna sound forever!

    Fling wide thy portals, Zion
    And hail thy glorious king;
    His tidings of salvation
    To every people bring,
    Who, waiting yet in sadness,
    Would sing His praise in gladness.


    According to the gospels in the Bible this happened right before Easter and is therefore celebrated on Palm Sunday, but traditionally also first Advent Sunday

    Translated from Swedish wikipedia in order to give some context ;)
    Happy first Advent Sunday tomorrow!! :)

    For the day that's in it!
    Happy Christmas everyone. "From a heathen and a pagan
    On the side of the rebel Jesus"

    Slight OTT but ..
    Nox Arcana - Night of the Wolf

    This is either Glorious Madness or Mad Gloriousness of one of Church's well known saints: St. Joan of Arc.



    Cohen's lyrics make it, as always, up to the listener.
