Sunday Afternoon Video: The Lord is My Shepherd


On this Sunday, learning about the Good Shepherd in many churches, I offer you "The Lord is my Shepherd" from John Rutter's Requiem. I think it paints a wonderful musical picture of the text.





What did you sing in worship today? Let us know in the comments!

  1. At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing--a favorite from my eldest daughter's funeral, which happened like her baptism during Easter season. Luckily I knew it by heart 'cause I was carrying in the Gospel book on my first day in the new church as a chalice bearer. And Marty Haugen's Shepherd Me, O God for the psalm. Lots of joy!

  2. Today I was musically brave @ my church.
    Although we recite The Mystery of Faith, we have never sung it. And I like it sung. But I needed to cant it, for people to respond. . .so I opened my mouth and tried to carry a tune. Eek!
    Worked okay, though.

  4. WE sanfg all "classic" hymns today:
    Come O Fount of Every Blessing
    Psalm 23 (to crimond)
    There's a wideness in God's Mercy
    O For 1000 Tongues to SIng.

    THe first and last should be quick and peppy. They weren't.

  8. Marty Haugen's Shepherd Me, O God, and the old "The Lord's My Shepherd," CRIMOND, from the Pilgrim Hymnal.

    Used the Haugen as the communion hymn, and I was cantor as this was new for the congregation.
