Lyrics text


രക്ഷാ സുവിശേഷം കേട്ടു രക്ഷിതരാം ജനമേ
സാക്ഷികളായ് പോകൂ രക്ഷാദൂതിൻ വാഹകരായ് (2)


മലമുകളിൽ പടുത്തുയർത്തിയ നഗരം പോലെ
സൽ പ്രവൃത്തികളാലെ ചുറ്റും വെളിച്ചമായ് തെളിയൂ (2)


രക്ഷാ സുവിശേഷം നാഥൻ നടന്ന വഴിയിൽ തന്നെ നടന്നിടേണം
നല്ല ഫലങ്ങളാലേ ഈശനു സാക്ഷികളാകേണം (2)


രക്ഷാ സുവിശേഷം വചനത്തിൽ നില നിന്നവനുടെ ശിഷ്യരാകേണം
സ്വർഗ്ഗപിതാവിൻ മഹിമകളേവം കീർത്തിതമാകേണം(2) രക്ഷാ സുവിശേഷം

Notes - DCS-013A

This was the recessional song for the grand celebration of the solemn Syro Malabar Qurbana on the final day of the centenary celebration of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC) on 27 November 1988. A team of one hundred FCC sisters sang in the choir. Fr. Joseph Manakkil wrote the song, especially for the occasion. the oThe occasion also happened to be an opportunity for musical experiments. "Osana," (in the style of Koythu pattu in Kerala, "Jeewan Polum Danam Cheyyum" (in the mode of Pulluvan pattu in the Cherthala region of Kerala) "Nandiyezhum Nal Shuthikal Padi" (in Gujarathi folk style) are examples. The pre-recorded cassette OSANA contains several songs composed for this liturgy.

Our Mission

Christian Musicological Society of India is an international forum for interdisciplinary research, discussion, and dissemination of knowledge, on the music, art and dance of about thirty million Christians in India, who belong to a diverse set of communities and linguistic groups and follow a variety of liturgical traditions some of which date back to the early Christian era. Founded in 1999 by Dr. Joseph J. Palackal CMI, the Society hopes that such researches will draw attention to the lesser known aspects of India in connection with the rest of the world.
