Ideas for use

It is worth taking a moment to observe the punctuation in this hymn. More so than in many hymns, the plainsong roots of the tune ("Veni Emmanuel") mean that breathing in the right (or wrong!) place has a strong impact on how the meaning of the words is conveyed.

My Lord! what a morning (StF 179)

Of the Father's love begotten (StF 181)
