The Corpus Christi Carol
anonymous Middle English poem
translation by Michael R. Burch
He bore him up, he bore him down,
He bore him into an orchard brown.
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay!
The falcon has borne my mate away.
In that orchard there stood a hall
Hanged all over with purple and pall.
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay!
The falcon has borne my mate away.

Corpus Christi 1
Survey the hands that do the tiresome deeds,
the feet that clear the weeds on paths of sin,
the ears that listen, writing down the needs
the loving hearts that pray for souls to win.
Disciples offer worthwhile help for free
with gentle words when fellows disagree.
No censure made for lives from guilt reborn
but pure encouragement in lieu of scorn.
From

Sicut Miles Christi
Sicut Miles Christi I stand tall
Sicut Miles Christi I give my all
To a Man who deprived the devil of his will
To a Man who tumbled Jericho's hill
I'm a soldier in the army of my Lord
Equipped with the Spirit’s sword
A battle I’m called to fight
For the glory of

Ave Versus Christi
For now I ride out of darkness
To your screaming calls
To fight back your endless fears
To throw them to their fall
For I shall ride to you in white
With a crown upon my head
Riding of a horse of white
For this is what is said!
Ave! Ave!
Versus Christi!

Excellsis! Ave!
For they hurt you, killed you, burned you.
For you were

Christi
Sometimes I think insomnia is my best friend. I know it well;and experience it often.
Some nights,it's all I know. Nothing seems to help,therefore it's familiar to me.
However,some of my deepest thoughts and ideas come to me during the early
hours. But at the same time,my best artwork is created at odd hours. For

Corpus Christi 2
Observe the ones who bear Christ's name,
see corpus Christi without shame.
They're His, aflame and all forgiv'n;
the church at work and Spirit driv'n.
Survey the hands that do good deeds
the feet that stamp out weeds of sin,
the ears that hearken to the needs
and loving hearts that pray to win.
Bags of clean clothes or groceries
and toys for kids
