Due to a blip in the system we did not have a Mass sheet this morning and so the hymn books came out and change for the 1st hymn.

God of day and God of darkness was new to us. The tune Beach Spring is from the Sacred Harp tradition. The tune is suggested as unknown, possibly English - it is a beautiful tune. We sang the 2nd and 3rd verses to some robust Sacred Harp harmony - I had swapped the tenor tune with the soprano line for the 3rd verse.
