The Two Things I Dislike About Being Anglican...

1)
Those little bits of bitesize liturgy that aren't written down on the paper. Like:

Vicar: ``May the peace of God [et al]...... be upon you`` (or words to that effect)
Proles: ``And also with you.

How do Anglicans learn these bits - there's waaaay too much to remember, like the creed and bits people say at litrugy and set phrases to say while drinking tea...

2)

Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply, as to a little child,
For I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled.

Refrain

Tell me the old, old story,
tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
of Jesus and His love.

Tell me the story slowly, that I may take it in,
That wonderful redemption, God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the story often, for I forget so soon;
The early dew of morning has passed away at noon.

Refrain

Tell me the old, old story,
tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
of Jesus and His love.

Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave;
Remember I’m the sinner whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me the story always, if you would really be,
In any time of trouble, a comforter to me.

Refrain

Tell me the old, old story,
tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
of Jesus and His love.

Tell me the same old story when you have cause to fear
That this world’s empty glory is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world’s glory is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story: “Christ Jesus makes thee whole.”

Refrain

Tell me the old, old story,
tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story,
of Jesus and His love.
