Holy Gifts (This Is What We Have Been Told) | Stephen Dean | Catholic Communion Hymn w/ Lyrics

"Holy Gifts" by Stephen Dean is a beautiful Eucharistic processional hymn. Its opening line, "Holy gifts for holy people; come, you hungry, and believe", extends a tender invitation to the table of the Lord, set for SATB choir, descant, keyboard, and guitar. This Seventeenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Jesus tells us that "the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field" and "a merchant searching for fine pearls," teaching us that the Kingdom of God, and the holy gifts we receive at Communion, are worth giving up everything to possess. Just as the finder in the parable sells all he has for joy of the treasure, we are called to come to the Eucharistic table hungry, believing, and ready to receive the holy gifts prepared for holy people, the very Body and Blood of Christ, our treasure beyond price. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at SFDS Parish, Ajax ON Canada.
