Collect for the tenth Sunday after Trinity
Let your merciful ears, O Lord,
be open to the prayers of your humble servants;
and that they may obtain their petitions
make them to ask such things as shall please you;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Music
Our hymn today, There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, was recorded by the musicians of St Martin in the Fields. The voluntary, details below, was recorded by the Director of Music at St Mary’s Beaminster, Martin Schellenberg. It was recorded on the organ St Mary’s Beaminster. You can also listen to another hymn, No 2, A Great and Mighty Wonder : Tune Es is ein Ros’ Entsprungen (for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary 15th August).
Martin writes: As usual, there are two organ pieces this week. The first is a very gentle Chorale Prelude on the tune Es ist ein Ros’ Entsprungen by Johannes Brahms (1833-97). The translation of this is Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming and the tune was originally harmonised by Michael Praetorius in 1609. The second piece is a Partita on a Spanish Marian Theme by Bernado Pasquini (1637-1710). The five short variations use different colours of the organ and ends boldly on full organ.
