  • That's interesting because, to me, both the two final hymns go to "Hyfrydol"
  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    Yes, to us as well. But it wouldn't do to have two hymns to the same tune in a service!

    Also our usual pianist (who was on duty today) will try and play everything with an 8.7.8.7.D metre to Hyfrodol - "delightful" tune but it can be overused (see above).

    Indeed so! There are quite a number of good Welsh tunes to that metre.
  • DardaDarda Shipmate
    Morning communion
    O Worship the King all glorious above - HANOVER
    Praise to the Lord, the Almighty - LOBE DEN HERREN
    Jesus! the Name High over all - LYDIA

    Unfortunately, we are not able to have an organist every week. I am no musician, but I consider the lady pianist we had today is the best from our pool of available talent.
  • Easter 2 (aka Low Sunday) at Our Place:

    The Lord is risen indeed
    (Narenza or St Michael)
    Now the green blade riseth (Noel Nouvelet)
    The strife is o'er, the battle done (Vulpius or Victory)
    Love's redeeming work is done (Savannah)

    An excellent choice IMHO. I'm not sure which of the alternative tunes they will have sung (my Spy can never remember these details!), but all are equally well-known by a fair few of our regulars.

    Easter 2 - Divine Mercy Sunday.
    Alleluia, alleluia give praise
    Make me a channel
    Eagles wings
    Majesty.
    The people sang, which is always encouraging.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    All creatures of our God and King
    Who is the king of the jungle (with actions)
    Your love is amazing (I enjoyed being reminded of this wonderful thread from The Olde Shippe)

    Low Sunday/Easter 2 (delete according to preference) at St Pete's was much more musically enjoyable than Easter Day:

    Crown him with many crowns - Diademata
    This joyful Eastertide - Vreuchten
    The God of Abram praise - Leoni
    We will lay our burden down - Laying Down
    Thine be the glory - Maccabaeus
  • Believing without seeing.

    “Alleluia! Sing to Jesus” - Hyfrydol.
    “Alleluia, alleluia, give thanks to the risen Lord” - its own tune.
    “If you believe and I believe” - The Lincolnshire Poacher.
    “These are the facts” - Epiphany Hymn.
    “Have faith in God, my heart” - Carlisle.
    "I know that my Redeemer lives" - Church Triumphant.
  • Our Place will soon be singing The Lincolnshire Poacher, as it's one of the tunes for The happy birds Te Deum sing, 'tis Mary's month of May...
    :grimace:

    My Spy tells me that today's service was well-attended - 31, which is about our average turn-out at the moment, even though a few were at Away, because Easter, holidays, etc. etc..
