Just the day for a baptism

This Sunday we remembered the Slaughter of the Holy Innocents by Herod.  Just the day, then, for a baptism!  I hope the family were not too frightened by the harsh words of the Gospel, hymns and anthem ('Coventry Carol' - arr. Shaw).  At least the words of the refrain (Lully, Lullay, thou little tiny child, By, by lully, lullay) were appropriate.  And we ended on a much more cheerful note, with the organ voluntary (Carillon Sortie - Mulet).
