All Hallows Evening Prayer for Wednesday Evening (July 29, 2020)

I have posted All Hallows Evening Prayer for Wednesday Evening (July 29, 2020) on the All Hallows Murray weblog.

The music selection is the same as last Sunday Evening’s service with the following changes. The variable psalm is Anna Letitia Waring’s paraphrase of Psalm 23, “In Heavenly Love Abiding,” sung the hymn tune PENLAN, composed by the Welsh composer David Jenkins. PENLAN is the tune to which this hymn is most often sung in the United Kingdom. The hymn may also be sung to Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s SEASONS, the Finnish folk tune NYLAND or KUORTANE, and other tunes. The dismissal hymn is Henry Alford’s “We Walk by Faith, and Not by Sight,” sung to the hymn tune SHANTI, composed by the American hymn writer and composer Marty Haugen. The hymn may also be sung to DUNLAP’S CREEK McFarland), LOB GOTT IHR CHRISTEN, and other tunes.

The psalm prayer following the variable psalm comes from the Church of England’s service book, Common Worship (2000).

The reading is Matthew 19:13-15.

The homily is titled, “Jesus Ever the Same.” The Jesus who told his disciples to let the little children come to him and to not hinder them is the same Jesus who awaits us when we seek him in prayer.
