After eating lunch at around 14:30pm, washing and drying the dishes, Maw wanted me to play the piano. And because I didn’t want to go upstairs and waste my time in front of the computer, I decided to play a piece from `Volumn 75, No 1. TODAY’S MISSAL – MUSIC ISSUE 2008`:
`Come to the Water`
(# 629: ACC #120 / CPC #400) by John Foly. S.J.
Text: Based on Isaiah 55:1-2; Matthew 11:28-30.
1. O let all who thirst,
let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing,
let them come to the Lord:
without money, without price.
Why should you pay the price,
except for the Lord?2. And let all who seek,
let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing,
let them come to the Lord:
without money, without strife.
Why should you spend your life,
except for the Lord?3. And let all who toil,
let them come to the water.
And let all who are weary,
let them come to the Lord:
all who labor, without rest.
How can your soul find rest,
except for the Lord?4. And let all the poor,
let them come to the water,
Bring the ones who are laden,
bring them all to the Lord:
bring the children without might.
Easy the load and light:
come to the Lord.
The `bass` stuff (for the left hand) wasn’t written on this copy and I had to make up the melody based on the `treble` stuff (for the right hand). And the music happens to be in F# (or F-sharp)!
