Hymn suggestions are given below, but the service should avoid the feeling of a lessons & carols service. A mixture of psalms sung by congregation, choir and choir with congregation should be offered, with an occasional hymn possibly taking the place of the psalms. The hymns given after the New Testament lessons are for use as a Gradual/Sequence Hymn or after the Gospel has been proclaimed. | ||
