Church Music Corner › Fourth Sunday of Lent 2026 [loc-003K]

Lætáre Ierúsalem: et convéntum fácite omnes qui dilígitis eam: gaudéte cum lætítia, qui in tristítia fuístis: ut exultétis, et satiémini ab ubéribus consolatiónis vestræ.

This was a fairly routine Sunday at All Saints Ainslie, where we sang Gibbons' Drop, Drop Slow Tears:

Drop, drop slow tears

And bathe those beauteous feet,

Which brought from heav'n the news and Prince of Peace.

Cease not, wet eyes,

His mercies to entreat,

To cry for vengeance, sin doth never cease.

In your deep floods

Drown all my faults and fears,

Nor let His eye see sin, but through my tears.

Next week is Evensong (I'll cantor for the morning mass) and the following week is our concert, In The Midst of Life. Please do come along!
