When morning gilds the skies (Laudes Domini)
City of God, how broad and far (Richmond)

Let all mortal flesh keep silence (French Carol)
Ye that know the Lord is gracious (Hyfrydol)
Jesu, grant me this, I pray (Orlando Gibbons, arr. E.C. Bairstow)
Through the night of doubt and sorrow (Marching)
Christ is made the sure foundation (Westminster Abbey)
For all the saints (Sine Nomine)
God, that madest earth and heaven (All through the night)

Loughborough, the second largest town in Leicestershire, is famous for its church bells and its athletes. The people of the town gather for Songs of Praise in the ancient parish church which has been re-modelled to meet the needs of twentieth-century worship. With choir and organ at the back, and the altar brought forward out of the sanctuary, the setting is an unusual one.
