#789: Savior, like a Shepherd Lead Us
Apr. 4th, 2021 11:02 pmI'm not really sure whether there's a cohesive "23rd Psalm" mini-section or if this is just a common enough image that it shows up everywhere. The tenor part is pretty high, but also pretty boring. Low Shannon density; the third line is the same as the fourth in every verse, and they all start with "Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus." The hymn tune is the music composers' name, "Bradbury"--although he's written several other (and more famous!) melodies, this is the one he gets honored by.
Happy Easter! The church near me was able to do outdoor worship until pretty late 2020, and then started up indoor worship recently. It's still "bring your own bread," and only the soloist can sing. So there's not much in terms of a sung liturgy, and even some of the solo hymns aren't very Easter-y. Which means that our total alleluia count was an underwhelming 29.
The hymn of the day/sermon inspiration was "How Can I Keep From Singing" which is great, but not Easter-y. And it was like..."the pandemic. The pandemic is the answer to what is keeping us from singing, literally right now!"
