Easter Sunday Worship: Thine be the Glory!

The trumpets sound to announce the pomp and pageantry of Easter Day in this celebration of the Eucharist live from the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban, the shrine of England's first martyr completed in 1115.

The Abbey Singers and Lay Clerks sing the most popular Easter hymns and carols including This Joyful Eastertide, Jesus Christ is risen today, Love's Redeeming Work is Done and Thine be the Glory.

The preacher is the Bishop of St Albans, the Right Reverend Dr Alan Smith, and the celebrant is the Dean, the Very Reverend Dr Jeffrey John. Choir directed by the Assistant Master of the Music, Tom Winpenny; Organ Scholar Marnus Greyling.
