Sometimes one thinks so many hymns so little time… I was aware that we rendered more praise to God (well it is liturgy) than considered Caesar's claim. It seemed that the psalm was key to this balance. But I am aware that we do not know hymns such as 'O God of earth and altar'. The Joncas piece was offered as post-monetary - silver and gold are not worth as much as faith.

The final hymn is one we have not done for a while (I always tell the singers this but I suspect it is probably 10 years). Like Out of Darkness earlier in the year I thought it worth revisiting and we shall sing it a couple more times in the next month or so.

We are bit thin on the ground over the next couple of weeks as I am away and we just cantor and keyboard. So nothing too demanding.

The psalm is a good example of direct connection with 1st reading. Indeed the response is taken from the reading.
