Song After Communion: By Your Priestly Power, O Risen Lord
Sending Forth: I Am the Bread of Life (Toolan) – verses 1, 2 & maybe 3
I don’t know “By Your Priestly Power”.
Out of interest how do you cope with the ridiculous range of “I am the Bread of Life?”

Hi, I wonder if we can get a copy of the mp3 backing for ‘This blessing cup by Frank Andersen’ . Fyi, our parish has the copyright to AOV 1 & 2 and Next Generation and I have the music sheet as well, only we were unable to play music because our musician has retired. Thank you
I’ll get This Blessing Cup on the blog today – it is a favourite. I hope the new guitarist works out.

Thank you so much. Gbu
By Your Priestly Power, O Risen Lord is a traditional one by McAuley and Connolly.
With ‘I am the Bread of Life’, we sing this in A Flat Major. In A Flat it goes to low A flat in bar 1 of verse and high E flat in the refrain. In this key, the people can sing this well and get the low A flat and high E flat.
Thanks Chris.
We bring it down to G but that means the song starts with a sort of groan rather than singing. I’ll take it up a notch next time.
Have a go with it in A flat. It might work better with your congregation. Looking at my music in A flat, it says use Capo 1 for guitar.
