Bless The Lord · Taizé · Jacques Berthier · Traditional Sheet music: https://www.sanctuarycrc.org/worship_resources/pdf/Bless%20The%20Lord%20(Taize)%20(F%20-%20full%20score%20w%20descant).pdf Chant: Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God's holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life. Verse (in English): It is God who forgives all your guilt, who heals every one of your ills, who redeems your life from the grave, who crowns you with love and compassion. The Lord is compassion and love, slow to anger and rich in mercy. God does not treat us according to our sins, nor replay us according to our faults. As a father has compassion on his children, The Lord has pity on those who fear him, for God knows of what we are made. God remembers that we are dust. "Bless the Lord, My Soul" by Jacques Berthier. Sung by Oasis Chorale at Cornerstone Mennonite Fellowship in Ephrata, Pennsylvania on July 11, 2021. The Taizé Community (French: Communauté de Taizé) is an ecumenical Christian monastic community in Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France. It is composed of about one hundred brothers, from Catholic and Protestant traditions, who originate from about thirty countries around the world. It was founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schütz, a Reformed Protestant. Taizé has become one of the world's most important sites of Christian pilgrimage, with a focus on youth. Over 100,000 young people from around the world make pilgrimages to Taizé each year for prayer, Bible study, sharing, and communal work. Through the community's ecumenical outlook, they are encouraged to live in the spirit of kindness, simplicity and reconciliation. They have sought to demonstrate this in the music and prayers where songs are sung in many languages, and have included chants and icons from the Eastern Orthodox tradition. The music emphasizes simple phrases, usually lines from Psalms or other pieces of Scripture, repeated and sometimes also sung in canon.[17] Earlier Taizé community music was conceived and composed by Jacques Berthier.
