Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music.

St Bride's Choir opens this week's reflection with a setting of the poem "Come, my Way, my Truth, My Life" by the metaphysical poet and priest, George Herbert, composed by William Harris. Harris spent thirty years as organist at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. During the war, Harris helped with the musical education of Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose. Every Monday they sang alongside four choristers as part of a madrigal choir, to whom they donated jars of Argentinian honey as a treat!

Prompted by the reading from Luke, the Rector, Alison, muses on how some high profile visitors to our memorial services struggle to understand that a reserved seat may not be for them.

We close with the hymn "Just as I am" by the 18th century poet Charlotte Elliott, who wrote over 150 hymns many of which remain in use.
