Why do I think this might be better named, "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning": "'Twere profanation of our joys / To tell the laity our love"?

Nevertheless, I'm having a lot of fun with what you're writing, and I humbly offer the following rags and tatters of a service...

THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER TUNING
(Celebrating that Holy Day when Reeds and other Temperamental Ranks are actually bearable. Also known as Drought Sunday)

Voluntary: Frescobaldi: Toccata Nona.

Psalm 95 (Thomas Attwood Walmisley)

Hymns: "Love Has Come Again" (Crum/Noel nouvelet); "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" (Beethoven/Hymn to Joy); "There's A Wideness in God's Mercy" (Calvin Hampton/St. Helena)

Anthem: "Thee, God..." (Ned Rorem--"Three Motets on Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins")

Voluntary: "Voluntary in D Minor, op. 5, no. 8" (Stanley).

Of course, when the inevitable happens and the humidity explodes into rain, last-minute changes may be needed:

Hymn: "Low He Comes With Clouds Descending" (Charles Wesley)

Psalm: Psalm 65 (Walmisley)

Anthem: "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears" (Leighton).
