Text of the anthem

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thy arm; for love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.

Song of Solomon 8: 6–7

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 a different service available each week 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.
