Not one Catholic choir singing this Catholic hymn on YouTube. Thanks to the First-Plymouth Congregation Church Choir for this excellent rendition of a Catholic hymn.
A corporal work of mercy.

Outstanding..."though the darkness hide thee...yes, right now He is mostly hidden...
This is one time the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, because that sounded like a chorus of one hundred, not whatever number they had, 40?
Surely the angels were also singing.
This is what our Catholic "betters" rejected. Destroyers. We know now where they came from.
'Catholic hymn'? It was written by Reginald Heber, Church of England 'bishop' of Calcutta.
We sang it at our TLM parish in Tampa! It's one song I know by heart from my time growing up as a Protestant. LOL
Yeah, it's definitely not a Catholic hymn and neither are many that have been posted here. Catholics don't really have any good hymns, which is why our TLM parish uses the Anglican 1940 Hymnal. It's all theologically sound, which is more than I can say for the Gather hymnal....
Yes, it is not a formally Catholic hymn, but it is theologically sound and has been adopted for a century. We have excellent hymns but they are in the traditional Breviary. Many of them date from the 4th to 12th century. Many have been translated by Anglican or Methodist clergymen, so, they are Catholic in origin.
