St Bride's Church, Fleet Street

Join The Revd Dr Jeff Lake, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. St Bride's Choir opens this week's reflection with "Tantum ergo sacramentum" – the last in a set of four motets by Maurice Duruflé which are all based on Gregorian chants. This motet has a meditative character and sets text from the hymn by St Thomas Aquinas – Pange lingua gloriosa – which we sing on Maundy Thursday. The closing Amen gently offers a sense of calm resolution. Jeff reflects on a very challenging reading from St Luke's Gospel and we close with John Bunyan's rousing ‘pilgrim song', "Who would true valour see".

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. St Bride's Choir opens this week's reflection with a setting of the poem "Come, my Way, my Truth, My Life" by the metaphysical poet and priest, George Herbert, composed by William Harris. Harris spent thirty years as organist at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. During the war, Harris helped with the musical education of Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose. Every Monday they sang alongside four choristers as part of a madrigal choir, to whom they donated jars of Argentinian honey as a treat! Prompted by the reading from Luke, the Rector, Alison, muses on how some high profile visitors to our memorial services struggle to understand that a reserved seat may not be for them. We close with the hymn "Just as I am" by the 18th century poet Charlotte Elliott, who wrote over 150 hymns many of which remain in use.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. The choir sings the first part of Handel's "Foundling Hospital Anthem", composed for a benefit concert to raise money for the Foundling Hospital children's charity founded by Thomas Coram. It sets text adapted from Psalm 41: Blessed are they that considereth the poor. The charity continues to this day as the Thomas Coram Foundation for Children and owns original scores of this anthem and "Messiah" which are displayed at the Foundling Museum in London and were donated to them by Handel. After a reading from the Gospel according to John, Alison recalls being vicar at a previous parish dedicated to St Bartholomew whose feast we mark today. Bartholomew is a new testament saint who is also known as Nathaniel and for his utter scepticism. Alison speaks of his remarkable journey from cynic to martyr. We close with the hymn "Be thou my guardian and my guide."

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. Benjamin Britten was commissioned to write "A Hymn of St Columba" to commemorate the 1400th anniversary of a voyage by the sixth century Irish saint to the Scottish island of Iona, where he founded the famous Iona Abbey. The text is a hymn attributed to Columba and reflects the day of judgement. Britten instructs the performers to sing "with fire" mirroring Columba's missionary zeal and the portentous text. After the reading from Luke, Alison remembers her days as a lecturer and an exercise she ran with students asking them to summarise in a sentence the core of Jesus's message. We close with the hymn "Lord, for the years" written by Timothy Dudley-Smith – former Bishop of Thetford and noted hymnwriter who died last year – and set to a tune by Michael Baughen.

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. Edward Bairstow's sombre and majestic anthem "All mortal flesh keep silence", written for the lofty expanses of York Minster, begins this week's musical part of our reflection. After the reading from Luke, Steve reflects on the life and death of the Oxford martyr, Thomas Cranmer, and the need to fix our eyes on God at times of greatest turmoil. We conclude with the hymn "Be Thou my vision", originally written to honour the faith of St Patrick and set to the Irish folk tune now known as Slane. A new episode of this online act of worship is released every Sunday morning.

Join The Revd Paula Hollingsworth, Chaplain of St Paul's Cathedral, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week we are most grateful to The Revd Paula Hollingsworth, Chaplain of St Paul's Cathedral, who will lead our service of Parish Communion in church and has recorded a reflection for us to use online. In light of the man in the parable in today's reading, Paula suggest we consider the exercise of wondering what might be our dying wish or regret or prayer. St Bride's Choir opens this week's reflection in words and music with the verse anthem "O where shall wisdom be found?" by William Boyce which sets text from Job. One of England's finest baroque composers, Boyce had the misfortune of being overshadowed by Handel. We close with the hymn "All my hope on God is founded" set to the stirring tune, Michael, by Herbert Howells, and translated from the German text of Joachim Neander by poet Robert Bridges.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. St Bride's Choir opens this reflection with the last from the set of Three Motets by Charles Villiers Stanford, "Beati quorum via" which sets Psalm 119: 1 – "Blessed are they whose way of life is wholesome: who walk in the law of the Lord." Today we celebrate the feast of St Peter and St Paul, two of the most significant saints in Christian history. Alison reflects on this rather unexpected pairing as although they likely died together, they had very different backgrounds and personalities and their relationship was not without its tensions. We close with the hymn "Ye watchers and ye holy ones" which has text by Athelstan Riley and is set to an uplifting German tune – Lasst uns erfreuen/ Let us rejoice.

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week's reflection begins in joyous mood with a setting of the Gloria by Jonathan Dove from his 'Missa brevis' – commissioned by the Cathedral Organists' Association in 2009. It is a spirited, lively dance, rhythmically reminiscent of Stravinsky. Our associate priest, Steve Morris, begins his reflection with the admission that he is from a family of people not very good at sitting still. We end with the hymn "Teach me, my God and King" – words by the great 17th century English priest and poet, George Herbert.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. Our reading is the parable of the Good Samaritan and in her reflection Alison recalls her childhood stage triumph in re-enactment of the story. Although the parables are wonderful ways to engage children at their heart lie profound and uncomfortable truths for adults. The choir sings a setting of the "Magnificat" – the song of praise to Mary sung at every Choral Evensong service – by the twentieth century English composer Kenneth Leighton which he wrote for Magdalen College, Oxford. It is one of the finest settings of its time. We close with the hymn "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds" written by John Newton who converted to Christianity after an immoral life at sea which included captaining a slave ship. In time, he would join forces with William Wilberforce as an abolitionist.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. After the reading from Luke's Gospel, Alison reflects on when Jesus sent out his followers to proclaim his Kingdom as "lambs in the midst of wolves", and wryly recalls Gimli the Dwarf's line from The Lord of the Rings, "Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?" The choir sings William Walton's "Set me as a seal" written for the wedding of the son of his lover, Lady Alice Wimbourne. It is surely one of the most perfect presents a newly married couple could receive. We close with another wedding favourite, the hymn "Praise, my soul, the King of heaven."

Valiant for Truth: Journalists' Commemorative Service 2024 by St Bride's Church, Fleet Street

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Alison talks about a woman she knew who earned her respect and admiration for her steadfast commitment to an incredibly challenging job. The reflection opens with the hymn 'Love divine, all loves excelling' and concludes as St Bride's Choir sing Richard Dering's anthem 'Factum est silentium.' It is a dramatic setting of a text for the feast of St Michael and All Angles – which we celebrate this Sunday – and vividly conveys the silence in heaven as the Archangel Michael joins in battle with the dragon. A new episode of this online act of worship is released every Sunday morning at 11am.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Alison reflects on the insights that a child's perspective and approach to life can bring us. The reflection opens with the hymn 'Praise my soul, the King of heaven' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Olivier Messiaen's 'O sacrum convivium'. Music for Messiaen was a way of expressing his Christian faith but surprisingly this short anthem is his only liturgical motet.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Alison reflects on the power of words to bring a hidden truth to light, a particularly important thought here at the Journalists' Church. The reflection opens with the hymn 'All my hope on God is founded' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Claudio Monteverdi's 'Christe adoramus te' – a short but moving work published in 1620 and setting a devotional text from a Books of Hours.

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest at St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Steve tackles a theological conundrum – The Trinity. The reflection opens with the hymn 'I bind unto myself this day' – also known as St Patrick's breastplate – and concludes with Thomas Attwood's anthem, 'Turn thy face from my sins', a setting of words from Psalm 51, sung by St Bride's Choir. Attwood (1765–1838) was sent abroad to study through the patronage of the Prince of Wales (later to become George IV) where he studied under Mozart.

Sing Choirs of Angels is a recent addition to our Advent calendar and has proved immensely popular.
