Scripture in Hymns Volume X has, at its heart, words of Scripture, which can be found within the hymns themselves or as a theme threaded through their verses. In fact, in his Letter to the Ephesians 5:18-19, St. Paul urges the Church at Ephesus to

‘… be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord’

and to the Church at Colosse, in his Letter to the Colossians 3:6, he writes:

‘Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.’


Thus, our chosen hymns are:

Almighty God, thy word is cast - Break thou the bread of life
Come, divine Interpreter - Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Come, let us sing of a wonderful love
Father of mercies, in Thy word - Go, tell it on the mountain
Hail to the Lord’s anointed - Immortal, invisible, God only wise
It is a thing most wonderful - Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts
Joy to the world, the Lord is come! - Lord, thy word abideth
O for a heart to praise my God - O Word of God incarnate
Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
Praise the Lord! Ye heavens, adore him
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
Spirit of truth, essential God
Thanks to God whose Word was spoken
When quiet in my house I sit

and our hymn-writers are:

Harriet Auber; Henry Williams Baker; Reginald Thomas Brooks; John Cawood; Thomas Coram; William Walsham How; Mary Artemisia Lathbury; James Montgomery; Joachim Neander; Ray Palmer; Walter Chalmers Smith; Anne Steele; Robert Walmsley; Isaac Watts; Charles Wesley; John Wesley Work, II

The complimentary CD, which accompanies this volume, was recorded at St. Patrick’s Church, Patterdale in Cumbria by Tim Churchill of Sound Recording, Lancaster. Once again, we are most fortunate to have at the organ Mike Town, who has taught music at Eton College since 1973.
