Evensong, Sunday 16 November 2025

This Evensong sung on the second Sunday before Advent features a psalm chant by Charles Villiers Stanford and the anthem And I saw a new heaven by Edgar Bainton, who studied under Stanford at the Royal College of Music.

The texts of the psalms can be found here (opens in a new tab or window).

Text of the anthem

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21: 1–4

We are very grateful to the Perpetual Trust for their support of the music of Hereford Cathedral. To find out more about the work of the Trust or to make a gift to further support our choral foundation please click here.

About our webcasts

The recording of services began in the autumn of 2015, when a new sound system was installed in the cathedral. These were made available on an occasional basis on our Soundcloud page. Our current aim is to make services available on a regular basis and, in this way, we seek to allow those unable to be with us in person to participate in the worship that is central to the life of Hereford Cathedral.

It is important to note that in these recordings, the listener hears exactly what they would have heard had they been present at the service itself. No extra rehearsal is undertaken beforehand, and no editing takes place afterwards.

An order for Choral Evensong can be downloaded here.

We hope that you enjoy these ‘snapshots’ of the daily services at Hereford Cathedral.
