The Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost
The Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost
O God, who declarest thy almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy grace, that we, running to obtain thy promises, may be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 21)

Music notes: William Mathias was a Welsh composer and pianist whose prolific pen created a large body of music for orchestra, organ and piano. Maestro Mathias paid a visit to Saint Thomas Church in 1983, during which he conducted The Choir in a Service of Evensong which featured his compositions, among which was ‘Let the people praise thee’, written at the request of the Prince of Wales for the celebrated royal wedding.
The Missa Aedis Christi was composed in 1983 for Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford in memoriam of one of the College’s more famous alumni, Sir William Walton.
