CATHOLIC MUSIC VIDEO: “Were You There”
From a Negro Spiritual, performed by the Choir from the Old Cardiff Arms Park in Wales
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Were you there when they rolled the stone away?
Were you there when they rolled the stone away?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they rolled the stone away?
Were you there when God raised him from the tomb?
Were you there when God raised him from the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when God raised him from the tomb?

CATHOLIC MUSIC VIDEO: “O Sacred Head Surrounded”
O sacred head, surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding head, so wounded,
reviled and put to scorn!
Our sins have marred the glory
of thy most holy face,
yet angel hosts adore thee
and tremble as they gaze
[lyrics continue below video]
I see thy strength and vigor
all fading in the strife,
and death with cruel rigor,
bereaving thee of life;
O agony and dying!
O love to sinners free!
Jesus, all grace supplying,
O turn thy face on me.
In this thy bitter passion,
Good Shepherd, think of me
with thy most sweet compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath thy cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in thy dear love confiding,
and with thy presence blest.
From a medieval Latin hymn attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux of the 12th century.
CATHOLIC MUSIC VIDEO: “All Glory Laud and Honor”
All glory, laud, and honor
to you, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
You are the King of Israel
and David’s royal Son,
now in the Lord’s name coming,
the King and Blessed One.
“All Glory Laud and Honor,” by Saint Theodulph ca. 9th century, translated by John Mason Neale, 1851, sung at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame. [lyrics continue below video]
The company of angels
is praising you on high;
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply.
The people of the Hebrews
with palms before you went;
our praise and prayer and anthems
before you we present.
The people of the Hebrews
With palms before You went;
Our prayer and praise and anthems
Before You we present.
To You, before Your passion,
They sang their hymns of praise;
To You, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise.
CATHOLIC MUSIC VIDEO: “The Glory of These Forty Days”
“The Glory of These Forty Days,” from a Latin hymn of the 6th century, translated by Maurice M. Bell, 1906.
The glory of these forty days
we celebrate with songs of praise;
for Christ, through whom all things were made,
himself has fasted and has prayed.
Alone and fasting Moses saw
the loving God who gave the law;
and to Elijah, fasting, came
the steeds and chariots of flame.
So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
delivered from the lions’ might;
and John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
the herald of Messiah’s name.
Then grant us, Lord, like them to be
full oft in fast and prayer with thee;
our spirits strengthen with thy grace,
and give us joy to see thy face.
O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
to thee be every prayer addressed,
who art in three-fold Name adored,
from age to age, the only Lord.
CATHOLIC MUSIC VIDEO: “Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days”
“Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days,” tune Saint Flavian, lyrics by Claudia Hernaman, 1873, sung by the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Lord, who throughout these forty days
for us did fast and pray,
teach us with you to mourn our sins
and close by you to stay.
As you with Satan did contend,
and did the victory win,
O give us strength in you to fight,
in you to conquer sin.
As you did hunger and did thirst,
so teach us, gracious Lord,
to die to self, and so to live
by your most holy Word.
And through these days of penitence,
and through your Passiontide,
forevermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
Abide with us, that through this life
of doubts and hope and pain,
an Easter of unending joy
we may at last attain!
