Our Communion
Analysis
Analysis by Will L The Communion and the Pie Jesu are both included in this single song. But indeed, the Pie Jesu is really just a restatement of the final lines of the Communion. Here they are: Let everlasting light shine upon them, Lord, with Thy saints for ever, for Thou art merciful. Grant them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them, for Thou art merciful. Merciful Jesus, O Lord, grant them rest. Merciful Jesus, O Lord, grant them eternal rest. And here again, both lyrically and musically, we reprise the central theme of the album. |
