JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Blessed John Henry Newman will be canonised in Rome by Pope Francis next Sunday, 13th October.

Time, perhaps, to rediscover his fine hymn:

Firmly I believe, and truly,
God is Three, and God is One;
and I next acknowledge duly
manhood taken by the Son.

And I trust and hope most fully
in that Manhood crucified;
and each thought and deed unruly
do to death, as he has died.

Simply to his grace, and wholly,
light and life and strength belong,
and I love supremely, solely,
him the holy, him the strong.

And I hold in veneration,
for the love of him alone,
holy Church as his creation,
and her teachings as his own.

Adoration ay be given,
with and through the angelic host,
to the God of earth and heaven,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Were the magnificent tune HALTON HOLGATE sadly to be unfamiliar, another 87 87 tune could be substituted, e.g. CROSS OF JESUS, LAUS DEO, or STUTTGART. ... See MoreSee Less
