Church Music Corner › 8th Sunday After Pentecost 2025 [loc-001K]

Deus in adiutórium meum inténde: Dómine ad adiuvandum me festína: confundántur et revereántur inimíci mei, qui quærunt ánimam meam.

Today our choir at All Saints Ainslie was short on numbers and without a director, but we had enough singers to manage as I conducted Farrant's Lord, for thy tender mercy's sake:

Lord for thy tender mercy's sake

Lay not our sins to our charge,

But forgive that is past

And give us grace to amend our sinful lives.

To decline from sin and incline to virtue,

That we may walk in a perfect heart

Before thee now and evermore.

Amen.

It was also a special service for Missing Persons Sunday, so several members of the Australian Federal Police were present, along with some politicians and some families and friends of missing individuals.

I didn't go to Evensong today because I had to prepare my lectures.
