The set is sung regularly across the UK, including a number of times on the BBC Radio 3 series of Choral Evensong.

Passiontide, Rain on Glass, Choral Evensong, 4’33

‘It is as though I were placed between two lovers or two friends. I am not the maiden who awaits her betrothed, but the unwelcome third who is with two betrothed lovers and ought to go away so that they can really be together.

If only I knew how to disappear there would be a perfect union of love between God and the earth I tread, the sea I hear…’ 

– Gravity and Grace, Simone Weil. 


Passiontide, Rain on Glass, Choral Evensong, 4'33

just a small rap i wrote to this track for fun. audio may be a bit scuffed. i dont own the beat or intend to profit from it. beat is evensong from the album moment in life by seasons' end . all rights go to the respective owners. this is just for fun.

rough lyrics

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move
you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move

sometimes i really dont wana be alive,
id rather die, when i look into the mirror i dont see no eyes staring back
its like an empty husk, id like to get hit by a bus cuz there aint no one to trust, i glance to my left and to the right at the same time, walking the same line, things dont seem to change just the time of the day,
and this ones the end, i hope i dont go fast id like to relish the feel
never felt much before, do you think ill enjoy the kill? even if its my own pill, one i can see, a person may live long but he dies when the people leave, even if its on the inside the only part that breathes, fresh air to to take to the chest, if life is an essay im known to fail the test, and im not guna lie to you, apparently, i didnt do my best

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things would can make move
you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move

you told me it was you but it was me, your living in a dream life aint a fantasy, i did the deed, i wana die and maybe not see 30, 28 now and the world just seem dirty, to that of a lone soul, but the sad fact is one of choosing my own road, ill pay for this choice while taking the stroll, it was i who should have died alone laying in the cold

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all of the things that would make me move

sometimes i really dont wana be alive
id rather die when i look into the mirror i dont see no eyes staring back
its like an empty husk id rather get hit by a bus cuz there aint no one to trust, i glance to my left and to my right at the same time, walking down the same line, things dont change just the time of the day,
and this ones the end, i hope i dont go fast, id like to relish the feel,
never felt much before, do you think ill enjoy the kill? even if its my own pill, one i can see, a person may live long until he dies when the people leave, even if its on the inside, the only part that breathes, fresh air to take to the chest, if life is an essay i was known to fail the test, im not guna lie to you, apparently, i didnt do my best

May the Lord Support Us

Parish Choir of Saint Stephen's
Judy Warren (organ) and Priscilla Holt (flute)
Words by John Newton and John Rees

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!

The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.

Amazing Grace

An historic Episcopal church in Sherman, Texas. Join us for the Holy Eucharist every Sunday at 10 for biblical preaching, sacred music, and warm fellowship.

'The sound experience I prefer to all others is the experience of silence, and the silence almost everywhere in the world is traffic, if you listen to Beethoven or Mozart you see that they’re always the same, if you listen to traffic you see that it's always different.' - John Cage
