We end the month as we began with a reflection by Gordon Giles; this reflection is on 'Jerusalem the Golden, with milk and honey blest' to the tune: EWING.

Day 28 of our Hymn of the Day for July comes from Ian Sharp, reflecting on 'Jesus was passing through Jericho' by Alan Gaunt to his own tune: JERICHO SONG.
