3rd Sunday of Advent

13 December 2015

Entrance Longing, trusting (mtgf)
Penitential Rite Kyrie 'Orbis factor'
Psalm - Isaiah 12 Sing and shout for joy (mtgf)
Gospel Acclamation Helmsley Alleluia (adp. mtgf)

Communion Antiphon Say to the faint of heart (mtgf)
Communion O radiant dawn (James MacMillan)
Final Blest be the Lord, the God of Israel

I am not sure how long we have been singing James MacMillan 'hit' but this morning was when it felt confidence in all parts. Not that we have done it badly before - just that difference between adrenaline and confidence.

My song is mercy and justice we sang for the beginning of the Year of Mercy. It is one of a series of Psalms and Songs of Mercy I have prepared. This piece is about 20 years old in its origins. This year gave an impetus for it to find its final form.
