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).
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.
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
“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...
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..

The people sang, which is always encouraging.
