USAGE: canticle ```
On Mondays: ```dontyoudarestylethis A COLLECT FOR THE RENEWAL OF LIFE — Monday
O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the
night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive
far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your
law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done
your will with cheerfulness during the day, we may, when night
comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.

Go ahead I guess, I can't stop you.
There's something on your screen... you should clean it.
I really love chanting the psalms — Anglican Chant in particular. I had a voice student once, a kid in an old-school Anglican family. I was all like, "Are you familiar with Anglican Chant?"
"Which one?", he replied most perfectly.
That's a thing you see, refering to a musical setting for chanting as "the chant". Never have gotten used to that myself, I always call them settings. It doesn't bother me though, probably because it's an English tradition so #culture
You know what does drive me crazy though? The way English people use plural forms talking about an organization, a group — one group. It's one group. Just one. Sure it's a group of people but that doesn't make them plural. See what I did there? It should have been "that doesn't make it plural" because it's one group. So, "the Royal School of Church music have just published a new psalter in two versions" maketh bang the head of man against the wall.
I also hate it when music teachers use the word "chant" but they mean rap. It's common music teacher jargon and it kills me dead. Rap and chant are basically opposites. Rap is music despite not being sung because it's poetry with the words fit snugly into meter and time. Chant, on the other hand, is music despite being prose because it's sung, and chanted words are most certainly not metered (not in the English tradition, at least, innumerable untrained parish choirs notwithstanding).
