21 July 2013

EntranceLord, for tomorrow

Communion AntiphonBehold, I stand at the door (mtgf)

I think the chosen pieces speak of relationship to God/Jesus, hospitality and letting go of cares. The psalm turns the question around - it is not and some may even be visited by angels but who is worthy to receive them.

We have sung 'As the bridegroom\ for a wedding before though it is an example of a piece where the first line is true of the context of a wedding and the rest less so. This can also be true of hymns which have 'love' in the first line.
