I was slightly surprised to find us singing Come ye faithful raise the anthem as the offertory hymn this evening because I associated it with cheerful occasion, not quite Eastertide but nearly (partly I think because of Come ye faithful raise the strain. However, I had forgotten until we got to the relevant verse (4?) that is was definitely unsuitable. I've not had a good Lent A-words wise. It started badly with Lasst uns Effreuen on St David's Day, then St Mark's had A-words, (in a hymn where each verse ended H---------! what a saviour) sand Lorraine (who should know better) had Seek ye first and St Paul's had something on Mothering Sunday. But I definitely don't expect it of LSM. At least it was only saying that we'd be using that word in heaven and the reason for the hymn was it was about time in the way in which the preacher had been talking!
