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. "One of the Bible’s most enduring visions of heaven is of a new Jerusalem: a city of God, in which the hustle and bustle of the saintly population is focussed on the praise of an ever present God, reigning on high..." hymnsocietygbi.org.uk/2021/07/jerusalem-the-golden-with-milk-and-honey-blest-gordon-giles/ ...

Day 30, our penultimate reflection, is by Andrew Pratt on his hymn 'The song of the sea, once melodious, is dying' sung to the tune: STREETS OF LAREDO. This hymn, about conservation, was written whilst Andrew "was asked to be ‘hymn writer in residence’ for a series of seminars drawing together scientists and Christian faith." hymnsocietygbi.org.uk/2021/07/the-song-of-the-sea-once-melodious-is-dying-andrew-pratt/ ...

Day 29 is by Gordon Taylor who's reflection is based on 'How firm a foundation, ye Saints of the Lord' - ‘K’ in Rippon’s Selection (1787), sometimes attributed to Richard Keen (fl. 1787) to the tune: ST DENIO (Welsh melody, 19th century).

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. "The author’s own note explains that this is ‘a song for all-age worship... Written to be sung, it could equally well be read aloud, as a passage of prose. (Try it!)" hymnsocietygbi.org.uk/2021/07/jesus-was-passing-through-jericho-ian-sharp/ ... See MoreSee Less
