by Reverend John SleeThis is one of the Alternative Service Book Evening Prayer Canticles (hymns). It may take a little time to fit the words to the music, but there's usually a note per syllable. Exceptions include 'God' (line 11) and 'Lamb' (line 17), which each have 3 beats: e.g. La-a-amb. As an Assistant Curate in Truro diocese I have used this quite often. My son Craig (8) has now 'borrowed' my Music 5000 and thought that publishing this might allow him a free AMPLINEX disc!
(c) Reverend John Slee Lyrics: Glory and honour and pow'r Are yours by right, O Lord our God For you created all things and by your will they have their being Glory and honour and pow'r are yours by right, O Lamb who was slain For by your blood you ransomed men for God. From every race and language, From every people and nation, To make them a kingdom of priests, To stand and serve before our God. To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise & honour, glory & might for ever and ever. Amen. |
