Westminster Abbey Evensong


Psalm 90:4 "For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night."

Yesterday evening we went to Westminster Abbey for Chorale Evensong- it was a great experience. Westminster Abbey was built in 1045-1050, wow, that is a long time ago.

The program had a boy's choir that came in as a procession singing, and then contained scripture readings and singing, some in English, some in Latin. Hearing singing like that inside a cathedral is quite an experience. It was amazing looking up at the stained glass window, in a church so old, and thinking of the world outside that has changed so much in almost a thousand years.

Hearing Psalm 90 in a place like that gives a new perspective to a "thousand years."
