The Gospel reading from Matthew telling of the sheep and goats was prefaced by a first reading and Psalm dwelling on the image of the good shepherd, and we had multiple references in our musical selections. We’ve never sung Bob Dufford’s Like a shepherd before at the Cathedral (and I can’t remember singing it anywhere in at least the last thirty years), but the simple singable refrain made me think it worth giving it a try. If I’d looked more carefully at the music in the verses, I might simply have put the book back on the shelf, though. We stuck it out with the first two, but gave verse three a miss.
