Durham - 10

Here is a photo of St Oswald's Parish Church Durham where our Festival of Hymns was held.



These are the twelve hymns which we sang:

1. Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
2. Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire.
3. The King of love my Shepherd is.
4. We praise you God, great Lord of time and space.
5. Let all creation bless the Lord.
6. Put peace into each other's hands.
7. We cannot measure how you heal.
8. The royal banners forward go.
9. You laid aside your rightful reputation.
10. In heavenly love abiding.
11. God is here! As we his people.
12. Come down, O Love divine.

In addition there were two anthems by S S Wesley:

1. Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness.
2. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace.

The hymns were superbly introduced by Revd James Dickinson from Chesterfield, whilst the conductor was Prof Jeremy Dibble and the organist was Dr Martin V Clarke - both from Durham. Prayers were led by the Priest-in-Charge, Fr Peter Kashouris.

It was a great evening of praise!

Obviously most readers of this blog will not have had the joy of being conducted by the charismatic Professor Dibble - so here is brief taster of what we all enjoyed in Durham.
