Last Tuseday, Jared and I awoke early in the morning so to celebrate May Day. We walked through the the dew covered fields of Christ Church over to the Magdalen Bridge where at the top of tower of Magdalen College, one of the oldest in Oxford, the young boys choir sang beautiful hymns in Latin praising the Lord for rebirth and His majestic creation. As the sun rose at dawn from behind Magdalen tower, the eloquent and angelic voices rang over the spires of Oxford and a huge crowd listened in silence from below. This tradition is hundreds and hundreds of years old.
Jared and I stood there overwhelmed with the sheer beauty of it all and our hearts were and are grateful to the Lord for this new season. We are reminded of the verses in Song of Solomon that says "11 For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone; 12 The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;" We are not convinced that the rain is over and gone, but praise to the Lord for He is good!
Above is a picture at dawn of Magdalen Tower while the boys are singing.
