Hymn for the Conversion of St Paul

In case you are wanting do take up the Holy Father's suggestion of observing the Conversion of St Paul this Sunday, here is a song you might want to use. You can sing it to Aurelia ("The Church's One Foundation"). I don't have an author for it. It is a modernised version of a hymn that appeared in Lindemann's Daily Office book, which I pilfered back when I was doing the Lutheran Worship Resources project.

We sing the glorious conquest
before Damascus' gate,
when Saul, the persecutor,
came breathing threats & hate;
the ravening wolf rushed forward
to make the sheep his prey,
but see! the Shepherd met him
and claimed his life today!

O glory beyond telling
that struck across his path!
O light that pierced and blinded
the zealot in his wrath!
O voice that spoke within him
the calm, reproving word!
O love that sought and made him
the servant of the Lord.

Lord, teach your Church to love you,
& in the darkest hour
of weakness and of danger
to trust your hidden power.
For by your grace & mercy
Paul's hate & fear were bound,
and in your bold opponent,
your chosen saint was found.

An Ode to the Error Code?

Searching for midi files today, I came across this little ditty:

"Drat!" The Herald Angel says,
"Page Not Found," the screen displays.
"404": the error code;
Where's that page? It just won't load!

Unfortunately, it was telling me I couldn't find the midi file I wanted. But what a nice way to do it! Source.
