Litany of saints for the musician
For the weekend of musicians that took place in August 2012, a special litany of saints was composed and we publish it here.
Miriam, sister of Moses,
You who danced before the liberated people,
And sang in joy the Song of the Sea,
Pray with us
Hanna, mother of Samuel,
You who sang of the mercy of God,
Giving to those in need, revealing to all His love,
Pray with us
King David,
You who sang the spectrum of human emotions
And the love of God in the psalms,
Pray with us

You who sang of the power of the Lord
That rescues His loved ones from death,

As a privileged way to God,

And you His angels, celebrating His glory,
And chanting to His name day and night,
Pray with us
