By Far . . . Are Our

    By far, the hardest line I have ever seen to sing happens on page two of this Psalm.

    "So are our eyes"

    Try to sing or say that five times fast: "are our"

    What's so hard? Just use a glottal stroke on the "are" and flip the r at the end of the word . . . maybe this is a regional-accent thing? I know R is pronounced differently in other places . . .

    Or, my favorite from the ending of one of the eucharistic prayers, "Then we shall see you our God as you are."

    Anybody know a priest who actually pronounces "our" as "ah-wer" as against "are" being pronounced "ahr"?

    Me neither.
