Communion Turn to me (John Foley)
Postcommunion Ab ortu solis (William Byrd, c.1540-1623)
Recessional Holy God, we praise thy name
 

As three years ago, multiple references to the rising and setting of the sun, in the first reading, the Eucharistic Prayer and our Postcommunion motet. There’s one I missed last time round, which struck me this time as we sang our closing hymn — in the third verse’s

And from morn to set of sun
through the Church the song goes on

though, ironically, this image isn’t to be found in the Te Deum which the hymn paraphrases. There it’s per orbem terrarum (that is, ‘The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee’) rather than ab ortu solis usque ad occasum. But it all fitted together pleasingly.
