Welcome to Anthem 3 in my attempt to write a new choir anthem every week for a year. I’m Kevin Mulryne and I hope you will enjoy listening to my progress throughout 2024. Please do visit the website Anthem52.com, follow along on x.com – @realanthem52 and send me a message to show@anthem52.com.

This week’s anthem has been much easier to write – that doesn’t mean it’s any more successful of course – you’ll have to see what you think.

Words for Anthem 3:

O give thanks unto the Lord and call upon his Name:

tell the people what things he hath done.

O let your songs be of him and praise him:

and let your talking be of all his works.

Well, what do you think? Let me know on X.com @realanthem52, as a comment below or via email show@anthem52.com

I’ve had a bit of fun putting another progress counter on the front page of the website Anthem52.com this week. You can now check in with how I’m getting on by seeing at a glance little thumbnails of the anthems which have been completed. Guess how many thumbnails there are so far.

I don’t know if I will always opt for contrasting anthems each week but I have a feeling next week might be a bit darker than this week. Relentlessly cheerful is great but maybe needs some contrast.

I hope you will join me next week for a new episode – and a new anthem – only 50 to go – but until then the question remains – will I make it to Anthem 52?
