Hymn Lyrics Search - Name That Hymn

The movie was (is) called TIGER BAY. It was Hayley Mills's first movie; it was in black and white, came out in 1959, and is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's absolutely fabulous; her performance was brilliant. Walt Disney saw her in it and brought her to the US and cast her in her first Disney film, POLLYANNA.

The version of the tune of "The Lord's My Shepherd" is the one (mentioned by a guest ) called "Brother James Air" by James L Bain, 1840 -- 1925. If it were written in the Key of C major, the first few notes would be something like .... C (middle, half note, perhaps?) ... E (quarter note) ... G (quarter note) ... C (high, half note) ... A (half note) ... B (quarter) ... E (quarter) ... B (half) ... A (half) ... G (quarter) ... C (quarter) ... C (half) ... B (half) ... C (whole?)

Nadia,
Thank you for asking about the song. I have been trying for so long to find out who the composer was. My choir children love singing it. I can now get an original copy. At last!

Thank you but please note we're NOT talking about the Brother James Air, nice though that is, nor any other version. This thread is about the David Palmer version, which has been really hard to find. Anyone who comes across this thread will have almost certainly Googled the lyrics, which are unique to his version. They need to know their search is over and that it's the David Palmer version they are looking for. Please don't confuse them. Please read the history before posting.
Thanks!

This song - the one you were looking for comes from a musical called Holy Boy by David Palmer that was popular in the late 1970s. I always loved it . Don't know if you've found this already!
Best wishes.

I know I am HOPELESSLY late but the version everyone has looked for and combined their memories to get to was written by David Palmer from Croydon / Purley area. He has his own website and is very approachable if you need music / lyrics. He has written amazing music (Holy Boy, etc) and has put on shows at The Fairfield Halls in Croydon.
