Pew Sheet – 9th April 2023

Music Notes

Hymns at St Mary’s

271     Jesus Christ is risen today

278    Now the green blade rises

Bless the Lord, O my soul

288    Thine be the glory

The choir will be introducing two new pieces today taken from a collection called Sing the Circle Wide. The collection has been put together by Debbie Lou Ludolph who leads a Canadian community choir called Inshallah. Their aim is to put together an alternative congregational repertoire which reflects the witness of Christians around the world. There are songs from Africa, the Middle East, India, Canada, Europe and many other places. Today we are singing a Hallelujah from Syria and a Sanctus composed at a community workshop in Canada.

 As Pablo Sosa says in the introduction to the book: “.. singing each other’s songs should be the proof of our desire to bring about the harmonious sound of our life together.”

Sally will join us again today to sing solo the verses of ‘Bless the Lord, O my soul’ at the Offertory and she hopes you’ll join her in the chorus.
