More wonderful hymns

This morning we sang two more of my favourite hymns, Richard F. Littledale's translation of Bianco of Siena's "Come Down, O Love Divine," set to Ralph Vaughan Williams' Down Ampney; and Catherine Winkworth's translation of Johann Franck's "Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness," that wonderful eucharistic hymn from the Lutheran tradition.
