Coming soon – Hymn of the Day –

Watch this space —

Hymn of the Day returns for a third Series this coming Thursday (1st July) and will continue, with a new hymn and commentary each day, throughout the month. The theme this time is ‘hymns strongly based on scripture’ so there is plenty of scope for the thirty one hymns, ‘Ancient and Modern’, ‘Old and New’, which will be appearing. Many of you will be familiar with the procedure – just go to our website :

www.hymnsocietygbi.org.uk

to ‘tune in’, it is also accessible on Facebook. As usual, all the submissions are fully scripted, beginning with the text of the hymn, followed by the Reflection and concluding with a short Prayer. Some are additionally accompanied by an audio / visual presentation and many have links to YouTube renderings of the hymn being considered. All will remain accessible until the end of August.
