All Saints Hymns

[hcruz402]

How is this for a hymn line-up for the Solemnity of All Saints?

Entrance/Processional: For All the Saints

Offertory: By All Your Saints Still Striving

Communion: The Communion Antiphon from the Propers (OR, if using a hymn, then use Sing With All the Saints in Glory)

Recessional: Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones

Perhaps the first two may be more effective the other way around, I’m not certain.

“By All Your Saints Still Striving” has the same melody as “All Glory, Laud, and Honor (It’s a common Hymn for Palm Sunday).”

“Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones” has the same melody as “All Creatures of Our God and King (This Hymn is most popular during the Easter Season, but can also be sung in Ordinary Time).”

Then what hymns does your parish use for Palm Sunday?

And you call yourself Catholic?!? How can you not know the hymn that “St. Francis himself wrote”?

Ok… Now, let’s not drift off-topic, here. I’m interested to know what your hymn line-ups for All Saints will be.
