EVENING HYMN

We have had a busy weekend. On Sunday we went to a Jubilee Lunch which was very pleasant. Everyone took food so there was plenty for everyone. A short service of Thanksgiving for the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen was held and hymns were sung. (There was also a collection in aid of Help the Heroes and over £150 was raised). We were originally invited to a Picnic but this was postponed because it rained. On Monday we had a family walk to Hibre Island, Wirral, which was something I had wanted to do for many years. The sun shone.

Last Sunday was Trinity Sunday.

One of the hymns were sung at our service on Sunday was Angel voices every singing and I close this night with some of the words from this well known hymn. It was Trinity Sunday.

Angel voices ever singing

round thy throne of light,

angel-harps for ever ringing,

rest not day nor night;

thousands only live to bless thee

and confess thee

Lord of might.

Thou who art beyond the farthest

mortal eye can scan,

can it be that thou regardest

songs of sinful man?

can we know that thou art near us,

and wilt hear us,

ye, we can.

Yea, we know that thou rejoicest

o'er each work of thine;

thou didst ears and hands and voices

for thy praise design;

craftsman's art and music's measure

for thy pleasure

all combine.

In thy house, great God, we offer

of thine own to thee;

and for thine acceptance proffer

all unworthily

hearts and minds and hands and voices

In our choicester

psalmody.

Honour, glory, might and meriyt

thine shall ever be

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

blessed Trinity,

Of the best that thou hast given

earth and heaven render thee.
