Let the Earth Rejoice and Sing

Alleluia!

Let the Earth Rejoice and Sing was written by the Sulpician Priest, Fr. Melvin Farrell in 1955. It is set to the tune, Lianfair, first taken down in manuscript form in 1817 as sung by the blind Welch singer Robert Williams (1781-1821). In the Liturgy of the Hours, Let the Earth Rejoice and Sing is used at Ascension.
