O come, repeat this song till Christ is nigh.
Repeat the verses far and wide.
If e’er we stop, it all falls apart.
So find the chorus, and all do your part.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Another verse is done!
Let’s sing until Emmanuel comes!
It has been a remarkable day. I have sworn an oath of obedience (binding in "all things lawful and honest"), been presented with the Scriptures (NRSV Anglicised, naturally) and wandered round the Minster in light drizzle. I am now a Reader of the Church of England.
This Saturday, God willing, I'll be licensed at Southwell Minster, as a Reader in the Church of England. Your prayers would be appreciated. It has all been gloriously strange.
