We heard this in 1986 at ChristChurch Thames View, when you and Carol were there. We sang it at our wedding in St Erkenwald's, but have never heard it since. Do you still have the sheet music?

Hi - I actually have the sheet music for this. We used to sing it every Easter Sunday at the church I grew up at. My mum was DoM. I’ve been searching high and low for a recording and with all the recordings we did there we never recorded this! I might get round to doing something amateur of this if it would help you out but sadly we aren’t at the church we used to be anymore so don’t have our amazing choir.

Thanks for this. Sang this at HTB in the 80s... It is on one of the album's by Cloud, the band there then, but no longer have it - lots of bongos, as I recall!

Sounds like a nice song, does anyone have a recording of it or know where it is on the web?

I heard this song in st James church disbursements over 25 years ago played on the organ and it sent me into the heavenlies. I have never heard it since but would love to!

Thank you!

I know the tune in my head but I cannot find any trace of the composer or performance of the song on iTunes or youtube.

Did you stumble across anything?

Thanks again.
