The worship for 26 April 2020 can be found in several videos:
- Three videos that form a service of Holy Communion
- An anthem from the choir
- Videos for members of the Young Church and their households
- A song for Young Church, taught by Sarah Weir
- A candle-lighting liturgy for use at home
As access to the cathedral building is restricted, this week’s worship takes the form of a house eucharist hosted by the Provost from his own home. Other voices come from members of the congregation, some of whom are self-isolating at home. This Sunday’s sermon is preached by the Rev Canon Oliver Brewer-Lennon. Jo Russell reads the Gospel, Robert Mawditt leads the Intercessions, and the organ voluntary, Koraal (Suite Modale) by Flor Peeters, is played by Steven McIntyre on the organ at Dunblane Cathedral. Robert Guthrie (tenor) sings the Gloria and Sanctus from Missa cum jubilo (Gregorian Chant). Music at communion is ‘The Love of God Comes Close’ by John L. Bell sung by Sarah Weir, soprano.
Photographs of roads around the City of Glasgow in these videos come from members of the congregation, including Roger Edwards, Tim Haynes, Debbie Lewer, Kate Mooney, Abha Paulina, Alan Richmond, Michael Shanks and John Weir.

Communion
The Anthem
A recording of ‘Irish Blessing’ by Bob Chilcott from a CD entitled ‘Listen’ by the Choir of St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sunshine warm upon your face
And the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you, may God hold you
Ever in the palm of his hand
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sunshine upon your face
And the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you, may God hold you
Ever in the palm of his hand
Ever in the palm of his hand
The palm of his hand
