MY ENGLISH HYMN LYRICS
SET TO : "QUEM PASTORES"

Why wait you on Earthly assurance
When through the ages the sages looked hence ?
Thence the shining sacrament
Ascent contenting, assuaging lament

Lowly visage face holy mirage
Open your heart for the Lord is at large
Charge your soul its mortal toll
Enrôle in sympathy transience stole

~ Quem Pastores Origins of the Tune ~

A melody from medieval Germany,
"Quem Pastores" is a pretty and popular,
(deservédly) pretty popular Christmas tune.

~ Quem Pastores New English Lyrics ~

In earnest, (vain ?), the Year .2000. and my
deadroom, I wrote some partnering English
hymn lyrics which this witch(/bold old scold ?)
(?) seems to have got hold of !

I don't think "Something's Got(ten) Hold of [her]
Heart," like she - rotten, (if not "Johnny Rotten"
(or "Johnny Foreigner", the Brit's have long
forgotten "gotten") has got(ten) hold of
our ears....her assault on the <<Top (Not
Forgot)(Not "Topknot") Ten>> would be no
threat to those advanced by
Whitney, Britney or Gene Pitney.

~ Quem Pastores Lip-Synching Animation ~

The visuals were created with .Crazy Talk 3.5.
(in .2004.) which is why the animated output is
square and the (tooth-less) mouth slot slit
is not mapped to the exact contours of the
character's lips.
