Songs of Praise

on BBC One London

from St. Peter's Tiverton, Devon
Introduced by Dudley Savage
Blessing by the Rector, The Rev. C.S. Nye

(from the South and West)

Good Christian men rejoice, and sing! (Gelobt sei Gott)
Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face (St. Agnes)
I will sing the wondrous story (Hyfrydol)
Glad that I live am I (Water End)
He who would valiant be (Monk's Gate)
O thou who earnest from above (Hereford)
Lift up your voice, ye Christian folk (Ladywell)
Ye holy angels bright (Darwall's 148th)
O worship the Lord (Was Lebet)
All creatures of our God and King (Lasst uns Erfreuen)

One of the interesting features of St. Peter's Church is the organ. During Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth the pipes of the original instrument were sold for £5 apiece, and the case for 15s. Following the Restoration St. Peter's was the first church in the diocese of Exeter to replace its organ, and Christian Schmidt, one of a family of famous German organ builders, was commissioned to build another. The magnificent case was embellished by Grinling Gibbons, the outstanding artist in wood carving.
