Adeste Fideles ...

As a former Anglo-Catholic I love the titbits of history that Father H shares!

From Fr Hunwicke's Mutual Enrichment

Here is a redaction of stanzas 2 and 3, which used to circulate in Anglo-Catholic circles:

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Here upon this Altar,
Jesu, to thee be glory given.
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing:
      O come ...

Godhead and Manhood,
Sacrament most holy,
This is the presence whom Angels adore.
Altar and manger,
One eternal moment.
      O come ...

Sing ...

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
