Description

I wrote this tune following the Larry Gordon memorial singing, held in the Commemoration Hall in Huntingdon.


Text

Jehovah, 'tis a glorious name,
Still pregnant with delight;
It scatters round a cheerful beam,
To gild the darkest night.

What though our mortal comforts fade,
And drop like with'ring flow'rs?
Not time nor death can break that band
Which makes Jehovah ours.
