Today's carol - 'with wings of fire'

An unusual format for this beautiful carol from the land of the Basques.

Sting is, or was, a Catholic I believe, not too sure about the dancing nymphs though.

I wonder why the words of the last verse were altered? "Everyone"?

Well it's not Cliff (Richard) but it was very pleasant non-the-less. ;)

Sting was raised Catholic. Judging by the lyrics of this song linked to below (which is admittedly from quite a few years ago) I'd say he no longer practices his faith, or at least he didn't when he wrote this.

Shadowlands.....I'm looking for a Cliff Richard clip, just for you!

Thanks TLW, he's definitely a "resting" Catholic judging from that.

A Mother's prayer for her soldier son

As Thou didst walk in Galilee, so loving Saviour, walk with him for me: For since the years have passed and he has grown, I cannot follow, he must walk alone. Be Thou my feet that I have had to stay, for Thou canst comrade him on every way. Be Thou my voice, when sinful things allure, pleading with him to choose those that endure. Be Thou my hand that would keep his in mine, all, all things that a mother must resign. When he was little I could walk with him and guide but now, I pray Thee, Thou be at his side. And as Thy Blessed Mother folded Thee, so kind and loving Saviour, guard my son for me.
