Psalm 29 Spoken by all. BCP p. 620.

Ascribe to the LORD, you gods, * ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his Name; * worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.The voice of the LORD is upon the waters;the God of glory thunders; * the LORD is upon the mighty waters.The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice; * the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor.The voice of the LORD breaks the cedar trees; * the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon;He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, * and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.The voice of the LORD splits the flames of fire;the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; * the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Anthem Here is the little door Herbert Howells (1892-1983)Here is the little door; lift up the latch, oh lift! We need not wander more but enter with our gift; Our gift of finest gold, Gold that was never bought nor sold; Myrrh to be strewn about His Bed; Incense in clouds about His Head; All for the Child that stirs not in His sleep, But holy slumber holds with ass and sheep.Bend low about His Bed, for each He has a gift; See how His eyes awake, lift up your hands, O lift! For Gold, He gives a keen-edged sword (Defend with it Thy little Lord!) For incense, smoke of battle red Myrrh for the honoured happy dead; Gifts for His children, terrible and sweet, Touched by such tiny hands and Oh such tiny feet.
