Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-008623). UPC: 641151086231. Text by Herman G. Stuempfle, Jr.This fine piece couples the stately tune SINE NOMINE with a new text. This text, commissioned for the sesquicentennial year of the Archdiocese of Chicago, speaks eloquently of the nature of the church and its mission. The setting was first used for the Archdiocese's "Liturgy by the Lake" celebrated in Chicago's Grant Park in August of 1994. This setting is suitable for festive celebrations: Chrism Masses, ordinations or commisionings, parish anniversaries, church or altar dedications, diocesan celebrations, etc. Since the tune is traditionally coupled with William Walsham How's "For All the Saints," six verses of that hymn have been provided throughout the score as an alternate text.
