Offertory hymn: Pew Missal, #181 Let all mortal flesh keep silence ("Picardy") (Listen)
- This gorgeous arrangement in the listen link given comes from Gustav Holst, who also gave us "The Planets", from which his "Jupiter" movement includes the tune used for such hymns as "O God, beyond all praising" and "I vow to thee, my country".
