Autumn Glory - 18

Here we have a photo of the three spires of Lichfield Cathedral taken late one autumn afternoon.



O Strength and Stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide.


Inspiring words written by St Ambrose.

That's the hymn for Vespers on 2 of the Tuesdays.

To be honest, I find many of the
Office Hymns in the Daily Office disappointing. Some of them (not 'O Strength and Stay') seem hardly worthy of a place in our formal liturgy. I hope something will be done to address this issue.
