Christ Church Cathedral Choir Notes 
Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost

 



Lord, for thy tender mercy’s sake is the most popular of works attributed to Richard Farrant .  It will be sung as the anthem this coming Sunday at evensong.




Lord, for thy tender mercy’s sake lay not our sins to our charge, but forgive that is past, and give us grace to amend our sinful lives: to decline from sin and incline to virtue, that we may walk in a perfect heart before thee now and evermore. Amen.


The anthem Lord, for thy tender mercy's sake, often attributed to Richard Farrant, does not appear in any source under his name before the late 18th century and is now thought to be by the elder John Hilton. - Wikipedia

Richard Farrant, Hide not thou thy face, is the introit for evensong this coming Sunday.

Hide not thou thy face from us, O Lord, and cast not off thy servant in thy displeasure; for we confess our sins unto thee, and hide not our unrighteousness. For thy mercy sake, deliver us from all our sins. (Psalm 27:10)

Call to Remembrance

Call to remembrance, O Lord,
Thy tender mercies
and Thy loving kindness,
which hath been ever of old,
O remember not the sins and offences of my youth:
but according to Thy mercy
think Thou on me, O Lord,
for Thy goodness.

et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
and a pledge of future glory to us is given.
Alleluia.
