Just left Mass with a smile.

We sang "Amazing Grace" at the offering. I am a former Protestant (Methodist), and I always enjoy it when we sing that one, or one of the old Wesleyan hymns. Once in a while we even sing "A Mighty Fortress is Our God"--written, of course, by Martin Luther himself. We use the "Gather" hymnal in our parish. What does your parish use?

I enjoy both, and Worship has been particularly enjoyable because of the number of hymns set to traditional tunes (Welsh, Irish, French, shape note/Sacred Harp) and/or the Holst and Vaughan Williams material.
