Anthems Blessed be the God and Father Christ being raised from the dead Great and marvellous are thy works Hear, O Lord, and have mercy Lord, how are they increased that trouble me Sing ye merrily unto God our strength The Lord hath chastened and corrected me Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the most high

Metrical psalm and hymn tunes Defend me, Lord, from shame He's blest whose sins have pardon gained How blest is he who ne'er consents I waited meekly for the Lord Lord, hear the voice of my complaint My soul, inspired with sacred love My soul with grateful thoughts of love O praise the Lord with one consent O render thanks to God above Save me, O God, from waves that roll Shepherds rejoice, lift up your eyes The Lord himself, the mighty Lord Through all the changing scenes of life
