Reverend Andrew Frearson presides at the Eucharist for the Eighth Sunday After Trinity. The Rev’d Andrew Frearson is a priest who usually worships with his wife Lynn at our 11 o’clock service. He has served parishes in the Birmingham, Oxford and Blackburn Dioceses, the Scottish Episcopal Church and the American Episcopal Church. He is taking a break from stipendiary ministry to write an autobiography and a book of devotions.

This Sunday would have concluded Musica Deo Sacra, the Abbey's annual festival celebrating the beauty of choral music within the liturgy. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, MDS was cancelled, and, with the addition of the Government's recent withdrawal of permission for indoor performances, our anthem seems rather appropriate. The words will be on the screen for you to join in with at home.

How Can I Keep From Singing? Arranged by Sarah Quartel (2018)
Based on the spiritual by Robert Lowry (1826 –1899)

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth´s lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

While though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
And though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I´m clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
