This coming Wednesday (1st July) marks the beginning of what we hope will prove to be an exciting and innovative project.

As, due to the Covid-19 virus, we have been unable to hold our annual July Conference, we have, instead, initiated ‘Hymn for the day’.

Throughout July, from the 1st to the 31st, our website will contain a ‘Hymn for the day’ hymnsocietygbi.org.uk/resources/hymn-for-the-day/. This will comprise the full hymn text of a hymn selected by one of our members. It will be accompanied by a reflection on the words by the person who has selected it. In addition there will, in some cases, be a video link where the hymn and reflection are read by the contributor. Possibly, also, there may be a YouTube connection to the hymn being sung.

As the month progresses, the list will expand until, by 31st July, there will be thirty-one ‘Hymns for the day’. All of them will remain available on our website throughout the whole of August after which, due to copyright considerations for some, they will be taken down.

In these times which, for many, are proving rather difficult and dismal, we hope that this initiative will prove to be interesting, informative and enriching, and an encouragement to log on to our website each day for a ‘Hymn for the day’ to brighten your life! ... See MoreSee Less
