It's the answer to a prayer of every time-poor rector, locums and all harrassed parish organists. Hymns for every Sunday throughout Year B are now available at the links below. The hymns, chosen from 'Together in Song', reflect the Scripture readings of each Sunday. They are sourced by reference to Oremus, 'Sing God's Glory' (published by Canterbury Press), the 'New English Hymnal' (also published by Canterbury Press), and e-Pray.

The list has been compiled by Fr Stephen Moore, rector of Gresford Paterson, and is the second year it has been distributed through the diocese. The list begins on the first Sunday of Advent (30 November) and extends for all the other Sundays of the year.

God, in Baptism you named your Son as the Beloved
and in our Baptism you call us by name.
Give us the strength to hear your voice
as Jesus heard your calling.

Our calling is into membership of your Church.
As your holy people, it is our pathway into ministry.
In Baptism you endow us with your gifts to love and to serve.
We are gifted to be your expression of all that is good.

Inspire your people in parishes and schools,
in places of work and leisure to hear your calling
and understand your goodness.
Look to us to pattern your ministry throughout the world.
Instill in us the desire to share our gifts
and give leadership in your Church.

God, the source of all meaning,
help all who are called into ministry,
to hear your voice and follow your way of life.
Strengthen those who desire to spread the gospel message
with a generous spirit and an understanding of their gifts.

Bless the Diocese of Necastle with holy people
who as priests, deacons and religious
will follow your way of life and
bring the joy and peace of your Kingdom
to all in their care.
