    I have a feeling I’m in the minority in finding Stainer’s music rather uninspiring and dated.

    I had to look for “All for Jesus” on YouTube, as I don’t think I’ve ever encountered it in real life. It doesn’t seem to have found its way into many American hymnals, and none of my tribe.

    The refrain of Wait for the Lord is intended to be sung as an ostinato with the verses sung over it by a cantor or cantors. It doesned a little preparation.

    Quite so, which was a commodity What We Did Not Have. :(

    As it was the first Sunday of the month, we had Evensong:

    Usual chants to the Mag & Nunc (Robinson & Farrant)
    Psalm 18 -chant by John Goss

    Hymns:
    Lord of our life - Cloisters
    Through all the changing scenes of life - Wiltshire
    The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended - St Clement

    It was rather nice, despite my being asked at the last minute to read the lessons (wouldn't I just get one with some silly OT names in it?). :mrgreen:

    “Colours of Day” doesn’t seem to have crossed the Pond. I’m getting the feeling I should be okay with that.

    It's not awful, but it's of a particular era.
  • It used to be wheeled out (pre-Covid) at Our Place for the now-defunct Parade Services, on the basis that the Cubs and Beavers would know it.

    They didn't (and the same applied to I the Lord of sea and sky ).
