Naff hymns
At mass yesterday we sang a hymn at communion the first line of which I can't remember - it's in Laudate. The second verse spoke about the multiplication meaning the feeding of the 5000 but it was the chorus which amused the choir "Alleluia! God is great! Alleluia! God is good!" Philip set me off by quoting Monty Python "God is really quite good so much better than any of us". The last hymn had missing words from the end of lines in the copies so some fun was had making up the missing words especially as they were no rhyming lines. It was Laudate 431 Your hands O Lord in days of old set to Coe Fen.
O be our mighty healer still,
O Lord of life and death;
restore and strengthen, soother an....
with your almighty breath;
on hands that work and eyes that ....
your healing wisdom pour,
that whole and sick, and weak and .....
may praise you evermore.

The missing words are bless, see, strong. I can;t find the other hymn or the Monty Python quote!
