The sky tells the glory of God,
tells the genius of God's work.
The sky tells the glory of God,
tells the genius of God's work.
Day carries the news to day,
night brings the mesage to night, [Response]
without a word, without a sound,
without a voice being heard,
and yet their message fills the world,
their news reaches its rim. [Responsse]
There God has pitched a tent
for the sun to rest and rise renewed
like a bridegroom rising from bed,
an athlete eager to run a race. [Response]
It springs from the edge of the earth,
runs a course across the sky
to win the race at heaven's end.
Nothing on earth escaped its heat. [Response] Topics: Mission/Sending; New Year Languages: English Tune Title: PSALM 19
The sky tells the glory of God
Howard Hughes
b. 1930 Hymnal Title: Catholic Book of Worship III Composer of "[The sky tells the glory of God]" in Catholic Book of Worship III In his letter of invitation to Brother Howard Hughes, the President of NPM, J. Michael McMahon, declared, “Board Members agreed unanimously that you have created compositions for the liturgy that are beautiful, delightful, and spirited, and that have fostered strong participation by the worshiping assembly as they pray the texts you have set to music.”
The Marianist composer’s first published work was “Mass for Peace” which appeared in Peoples Mass Book, 1964 edition, released by World Library Publications. As liturgical celebration developed in the English vernacular following the Second Vatican Council, Brother Howard produced a wide range of liturgical compositions published by WLP, GIA, ICEL, OCP, LTP, CFCW, FDLC, USCC, RP, NPM, Presbyterian Church USA, and The United Methodist Hymnal Companion. And at the age of 81 he is still composing and accepting commissions for special events.
A Marianist religious for 64 years, this distinguished liturgical musician and composer began as a high teacher of French and director of high school choral groups. In addition Brother Howard also sang in symphonic choruses in New York and in Baltimore. He commented that “conducting high school choral concerts and singing with adult symphonic choruses have been a great help in learning to write music.”
The National Association of Pastoral Musicians will honor Brother Howard Hughes, S.M., as Pastoral Musician of the Year when it gathers for its national convention in Washington, DC, July 29 – August 2, 2012.
Currently the awardee serves as organist and music director for the Marianist Center in Cupertino, CA.
