Alleluia! Raise the Gospel | Bernadette Farrell & Owen Alstott | Catholic Choir w/ Lyrics

"Alleluia! Raise the Gospel" is a bright, rhythmic, and deeply prophetic Catholic hymn originally written for an ecumenical conference on globalism, with a multicultural feel that makes the whole congregation want to sing, move, and proclaim. Its refrain — "Alleluia! Raise the Gospel over the earth! Alleluia! Peace and justice bringing to birth!", and its Beatitude-shaped verses ("Blessed those whose hearts are gentle… blessed those who work for justice… blessed those who dare to dream of lasting peace for all") make it a vibrant musical echo of the Gospel mission entrusted to us. This Thirteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, as Jesus sends His disciples out in Matthew 10:37-42, calling them to take up their cross, to lose their life in order to find it, and to receive even the least disciple with a cup of cold water, this hymn becomes the Church's joyful, courageous "Yes" to that radical and beautiful mission: raise the Gospel, bring peace and justice to birth, and serve Christ in every face. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at SFDS Parish, Ajax ON Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless! 🙏🏼 Song Title: Alleluia!
