Lead me Lord to the party food

It was a race between can. and dec. this morning in 'Lead me, Lord' (Wesley). Possibly because it was a much easier anthem than we have been singing recently - so it was thought a smidgen of syncopation would liven it up a little; alternatively, one side of the choir was in more of a hurry to get to the party than the other.
We were sent on our way in merry style by the reserve organist (usually the quiet, reserved one) giving the organ a good work-out with Widor's Toccata, shaking the very stones in the choir vestry wall.

Three miles away in one of the alto's houses and gardens a veritable feast was being organised. Salmon and chicken salad and a table groaning with creamy puddings, plus fruit punch and unlimited wine. A very pleasant lunchtime and afternoon was passed, the rain stayed away, and it is probably just as well that we weren't required to sing evensong.....
