Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for hymn set to 'Ode to Joy'
Masato, the more I look at this order of worship bulletin, the less certain I am that "Ring, O Ring" was actually sung at my parent's memorial. After each hymn listing there is a line of type. In the case of each of the other three hymns,Sanbika 9: Tikara no Syu wo ... ("Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren")
Sanbika 88: Sugi ni si mo ka si mo ... ("O God, our help in ages past")
and
Sanbika 267: Kami wa waga yagura ... ("Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott")
the text following the hymn number is the first line of the Japanese hymn in question. But the fourth hymn says
Sanbika 158: Waga Kimi ko no hi zo X ni katimaseru. (where "hi" is the "sun" kanji and "X" is a kanji I'm not sure of; but the incipit of "Ring, O Ring" is "Ame ni wa mitukai..."; however, the index of first lines does not list anything beginning "Waga Kimi ko no..." etc. Can you tell me what's up? I would like to know. I mean, here I am 34 years after the fact finally having a chance to try to "virtually" or "vicariously" attend my own parents' memorial service, and I'd at least like to know what music to imagine...
