Meanwhile, I find myself wondering whether @Foaming Draught has come any closer to deciding what to on May 3.
Wonder no more. I shall use the Jubilate words, as I had always intended. To Neander's tune Unser Herrscher, rather than the more common Purcell Westminster Abbey. But I shall be looking and listening out for cognoscenti singing the proper words, and shall wink conspiratorially at them during distribution. And instead of it being the closing song, it will come after the Epistle, or rather four verses of it will. The doxology (Ah, sadly, Praise, not Laud) will do duty as a sung post-benediction.
