Bright as Fire in Darkness

Leadpoint on Wood by Girolamo dai Libri - Courtesy of Wikipedia

Bright as Fire in Darkness is written by the Benedictine Nuns of Stanbrook Abbey. In the Divine Office (1974) it is sung with the Office of Readings. The recommended musical setting is Gott Ein Vater by Friedrich Silcher (1789-1860). An alternative tune that can also be used is Quietude (Green), as featured in the following video.

  1. Thank you for making it possible for me to sing instead of recite the morning hymn.
