Music for Sunday 17 October

This week the parish is keeping St Luke -- having done St Matthew a month or so ago.  Curiously, we haven't had an observance of Mark or John among the Evangelists.

Readings are linked here, and the psalm will be sung to Anglican chant.

The service setting will be Philip Mathias's Christ Church Mass (Together in Song, 757).  Hymns are as follows:


Introit: The Church's one foundation [457]
Gradual: Thou to whom the sick and dying ever came [tune: 379]
Offertory: Light's abode, celestial Salem [tune: 142]
Communion: Here we adore you, hidden Saviour, Lord [500]

The choir will be singing an anthem at communion: The Call -- Ralph Vaughan Williams

Those keeping the Ordinary Sunday will find the readings for the week linked here, and a setting of the psalm here.  Hymns on my alternative list are as follows:

Introit: Lord, your word abiding [427]
Gradual: Lord, your almighty word [447]
Offertory: Immortal, invisible, God only wise [143]
Communion: And now, O Father, mindful of the love [519]
