He goes before you into Gallilee.\br} \line{That Christ is truly risen from the dead we know.} \line{Victorious King, thy mercy show. Amen. Alleluia.} }}\p{After that we had choral evensong for this month, this time directed by our usual director. We sang Stainer's [Hail, Gladdening Light](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYmHdJJAyeA) as usual, as well as Phillip Moore's third service for the [Magnificat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRN08tkNN_k) and [Nunc Dimittis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTqucmeGPR4) (it's hard to find good recordings). Because it was the day after Anzac Day, we also sang Daley's [In Remembrance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMES2S1O7Y8).}\quote{\poem{ \line{Do not stand at my grave and weep;} \line{I am not there, I do not sleep:} \line{I am a thousand winds that blow,} \line{I am the diamond glint on snow,} \line{I am the sunlight on ripened grain,} \line{I am the gentle morning rain.} \line{And when you wake in the morning's hush,} \line{I am the sweet uplifting rush} \line{Of quiet birds in circled flight.} \line{I am the soft stars that shine at night.} \line{Do not stand at my grave and cry,} \line{I am not there, I did not die.}}}
