With great sadness, we have learned of the death of Graham Maule, whose collaboration with John Bell in authoring hymns was uniquely outstanding. Together, they worked hard at crafting a wholly distinctive page in the annals of contemporary English-language hymnody. That will surely stand as his memorial.
We reproduce below some comments from Pat Bennett, on behalf of the Iona Community. The lines of the hymn that follows demonstrate the unique contribution made by both artists to the people's song:

Graham Maule (24/09/1958 – 29/12/2019)

“Tell him that we love him, and we miss him”

It is with the deepest sorrow that we have to tell you that our dearly loved friend and colleague Graham Maule, artist and musician, founding member of the Wild Goose Resource Group and staff member of the Iona Community for many years, died peacefully on Sunday 29th December after a short illness. A full obituary will follow in due course.

Graham’s funeral service will take place on Friday 10th January at 11.00 in St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, 300 Great Western Rd, Glasgow G4 9JB. For details of public transport, parking etc. please see this information sheet

The Burial will follow at Craufurdland Natural Woodland Burial Ground, near Fenwick in Ayrshire. Directions will be given at the funeral, or see: craufurdland.co.uk/burial-ground/

Thereafter there will be a time for meeting and light refreshments in the auditorium at Oran Mor, which is at the Botanic Gardens junction of Great Western Rd and Byres Rd, G12 8QX, from 14.30 to 18.30.

Go, silent friend, your life has found its ending:
to dust returns your weary, mortal frame.
God, who before birth called you into being,
now calls you hence, his accent still the same.
Go, silent friend, your life in Christ is buried;
for you He lived and died and rose again.
Close by His side your promised place is waiting
where, fully known, you shall with God remain.

Go, silent friend. Forgive us if we grieved you;
safe now in heaven, kindly say our name.
Your life has touched us, that is why we mourn you;
our lives without you cannot be the same.
Go, silent friend, we do not grudge you glory.
Sing, sing with joy deep praises to your Lord.
You, who believed that Christ would come back for you,
now celebrate that Jesus keeps his word.

From our member, Revd Douglas Constable, a text for the Season:

ADVENT 3 : Matthew 11.2-11
Music : WOLVERCOTE

‘God’s kingdom at the borders, with judgement at the gate,
salvation poised and ready: no need for further wait;
unchaining those in bondage, releasing all tied down … ‘
the prophet from his prison cries ‘Soon the Christ will come’.

The Lord appears reluctant love’s judgement to begin,
though devils still, defiant, oppress the world with sin:
So: ‘Jesus, will you save us? or must we wait some more?’
the prophet in his prison cries out in anguish sore.

Behold, blind persons seeing! Behold, lame rise and walk!
Outcasts affirmed in being! Deaf-mutes both hear and talk!
The poor receive God’s blessing! Dead souls awake from rest,
vast mercies all confessing, for Christ is in our midst!

Let every voice cry ‘Glory!’, rejoice that God, with love,
breathes in each person’s story, their fears far to remove.
See, friends: like mist dispersing, hell’s vapours turned to flight,
where faith, hope, love advancing shine forth in heavenly light.

No greater child of spirit-clay than prophet-prisoner, John,
for he prepared the royal way, baptised God’s well-loved Son…
Messiah, whose mercy judges all, you lay the Saviour’s trail,
where cell by cell Christ mends, makes whole; bears all by cross and nail.
