  • Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
    once for our salvation slain;
    thousand, thousand saints attending
    swell the triumph of his train:
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
    Christ the Lord returns to reign.
    Every eye shall now behold him,
    robed in dreadful majesty;
    those who set at nought and sold him,
    pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
    deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
    shall the true Messiah see.
    Those dear tokens of his passion
    still his dazzling body bears,
    cause of endless exultation
    to his ransomed worshipers;
    with what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture,
    gaze we on those glorious scars!
    Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
    high on thine eternal throne;
    Savior, take the power and glory;
    claim the kingdom for thine own:
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
    Thou shalt reign, and thou alone.
    Words: Charles Wesley
    Music: Helmsley, melody A. Arne; improvised accompaniment by Robert McCormick, last verse after Martin How

    The organ pedal point and improv make me want to get up and shout praise to God even at 3 30 in the morning. Beautiful procession. Magnificent choir. The best videography of any church livestreaming.

    CONGRATULATIONS to St Mark's for holding high the liturgical and musical standards (and not descending into the crass banality of what goes on in many of America's churches today) ! God Grant You Many Years !

    As a Roman Catholic I longed these traditional rituals. I remember the censer it had to go up first then a swing in the middle and finally a swing lower , n and the boy thuriféraire had to censer the faithful; left then middle then right side the side of the saved! All is symbols but without them there is imo no sense in our lives. Keep on brethen Angicans and Episcopalians one day the RC will come back to olden days of celebrating God. Vatican II was a total awful waste.

      Still happens at the Traditional Latin Mass, at Divine Worship in the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, and at Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgies.

      I felt the same 20 years ago at St. Louis Basillica. It was rather diluted.... we Anglicans are more Catholic than they are ... and the music was??? Not up to my organist standards.

      Mass is not better because of a choir and incense. It's not about smells and bells. Mass is about the Holy Eucharist and all the other peripheries direct us to that grand moment. So let's not start with better or worse.

      Go to a Latin mass, then you don’t have to worry about bad music. P.s. the catholic mass is the only true mass no where else can you receive out lord truly and bodily present
