A “Note” on Hymnody
from Dr. Laura Palmer, Director of Music Ministries
“Songs of Thankfulness and Praise” was written in 1862 by Christopher
Wordsworth and published in The Holy Year, a collection of hymns written for
each Sunday and holy day according to the Book of Common Prayer. This hymn
appeared under the heading “Sixth Sunday after Epiphany,” and Wordsworth
crafted the text as a summarization of the manifestations of Christ presented in
the Scripture lessons throughout Epiphany. The last stanza recounts the
Transfiguration of Christ, marking the final Sunday of the liturgical season.

Search Committee Prayer
Please note
Almighty God, we pray for the guidance of your Holy Spirit as we seek a new rector for our church.
You know our special needs and the task that lies in our hands. Direct us in our search and
give us insight to perceive the leader you would choose for us. And we further pray, O Lord, that
in this time of waiting we may all devote ourselves afresh to your service, so that nothing will be
lost of the faithful work of the past, but rather that it may be brought to a rich harvest in the years
to come. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
