This is a relatively simple chant because it is not long and has only three sections. The challenge is singing the pitches accurately for the chromatic notes, and moving between the two time signatures, 6/4 and 4/4.

A Cloud-colored Christ, come! O my cloud-colored Christ, come!

B O my Christ, O my Christ, O my Christ, O my Christ,

C Jesus Christ, come!

Notes

• The Cosmic Chants book writes this chant in 2/4, but it can be felt as A in two bars of 6/4, B in two bars of 4/4, and C in one bar of 6/4 (13 bars of 2/4 in all).

• It can be nice to repeat the B section ("O my Christ, O my Christ…") extra times in sets of two.

• You can also loop between the B and C sections.

• A nice ending is either to repeat C, ending on "Jesus Christ, come!", or to go back to A and repeat it many times, ending on "Cloud-colored Christ, come!"
