Yesterday's hymns:
Introit was Lord Christ, when first Thou came'st to men which is still under copyright, so I can't post it here!
Offertory was Father all loving, who rulest in majesty which is still under copyright, so I can't post it here!
Communion hymn was this one:
Let us break bread together on our knees,
let us break bread together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us drink wine together on our knees,
let us drink wine together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us praise God together on our knees,
let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
And here's a link for the tune to it, which just goes by the first line for its name.
Then the post communion hymn was:
When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost
In wonder, love and praise.
O how shall words with equal warmth
The gratitude declare,
That glows within my ravished heart?
But thou canst read it there.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I’ll raise;
For, oh, eternity’s too short
To utter all Thy praise!
This one can be sung to several different tunes, my favorite is Tallis' Ordinal.
