Chichester Cathedral 23.5.23
Chichester Cathedral
Prayer and praise for half the Christian age
contained within your ample walls,
so many joys and sorrows enfolded here
by almighty Love reaching from above!
Chichester Cathedral seat of Bishop’s chairs
from Wilfrid and Richard to Bell and Kemp
handing down the faith of the Church
for centuries with courage and prudence.
Privileged to join Eucharist and Divine Office
enriched by choristers young and old
we joined your congregation for a time
lifted into God’s praise and service.
One day your walls will crumble to dust
as the praise here melts into heaven
at the return of One who stays the same
yesterday, today and forever.
