Munting Alay Pdf Today
Composed by Manuel V. Francisco and popularized in the 1980s, Munting Alay emerged during a period of post-Vatican II reforms that encouraged vernacular liturgy. The lyrics are simple: "Munting alay ko sa 'yo ay aking buhay / Sa dumarating na araw na hindi ko nalalaman / Ito ang aking hiling sa 'yo, Panginoong Diyos / Maging kalugod-lugod sa 'yong mga mata."
