Jubilee 2025 Hymn: Pilgrims of Hope

Lead/Guitar
Assembly Edition
Choral Score
Organ
Lead/Guitar (LOWER KEY)
Assembly (LOWER KEY)

Many themes of the Holy Year are woven into the text written by Pierangelo Sequeri and set to music by Francesco Meneghello. First of all, the motto, “Pilgrims of Hope”, is best echoed biblically in some pages from the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 9 and Isaiah 60). The themes of creation, fraternity, God's tenderness and hope in our destination resonate in a language, which although not "technically" theological, is in substance and in the allusions, so that it rings eloquently in the ears of our time..."
