We’re happy to welcome Wallace Hornady back from his summer travels. Our sojourn at the Greencroft will be enriched by his participation in our music. And, if all goes as planned, our choir will be back in gear by next Sunday.
The hymns for this Sunday are listed below. You’ll see a link on the title of the closing hymn that will take you to a page with some historical and theological background to this confident hymn.
PROCESSIONAL HYMN:
Holy Father, great Creator (#267)
COMMUNION HYMNS:
Only-begotten, Word of God eternal (#228, ROUEN)
Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless (#213)
I heard the voice of Jesus say (#424, THIRD MODE MELODY)
CLOSING HYMN:
The Church’s one foundation (#396)
The fixed page for the Eleventh Sunday after Trinity — with the Gospel, Epistle, Propers, and Psalms — also has links to pages about two of the Bach cantatas for this Sunday. Both of them contain rich musical expressions of the humble contrition displayed by the publican in the parable contained in this week’s Gospel.
