If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening, All over this land, I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning, I'd hammer out love between, My brothers and my sisters, All over this land.
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning, I'd ring it in the evening, All over this land, I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning, I'd ring out love between, My brothers and my sisters, All over this land.
If I had a song I'd sing it in the morning........................................... ...........
only when you sang 'all' it had four syllables, like aw, aw, aw, awll over this land.
Defo not a hymm....it was a 'pop song' by Triny Lopez and also Peter Paul and Mary
When there is nothing more to be said....Barrie goes and says it
Never mind hymns. Who can listen to Elgar's Nimrod without tears in their eyes? It is Britain, and never fails to stir me.
I can hardly see what I'm typing for the tears..
A year or two ago I went to the "Last night of the Proms" The finale was breathtaking .
One can take a Briton out of Britain, but never Britain out of the Briton..
Another favourite, and a great clip showing a Sunday Morning 'Parade Service'
Can remember many a one of these at St Philips, and how 'proud' i was to carry the flagfor the Brownies... happy times

I have two hymns I really detest and alas this is one of them!! the other being "For all the Saints" my mum also doesn't like "Tell out my Soul"
and up there on the "baddies" list is "Now thank we all our God"
I remember being ever so proud to carry the Brownie flag and subsequently the Guides one as well in years gone by
my glass is half full - or is it half empty I can't remember - too many glasses to be clear!!!
I love the hymns we used to sing at the May processions, Hail Queen of Heaven and Immaculate Mary. I also love I watch the Sunrise, it reminds me of my parents because they both loved it and we had it at their funerals. my Dad's favourite was The Old Rugged Cross, I get goosebumps every time I hear it.
Had no time for Hymns since Junior School - Our Headmaster (who I think was severely damaged by his wartime experiences) would sometimes get it into his head that we ought to spend the whole day singing hymns which we quite literally did on at least two occasions. A number of boys feinged sleep at one point.

Oh how I remember May processions - it was always a big thing to be picked to be the May Queen or one of her retinue - sadly I never was
I also liked "I'll sing a hymn to Mary" and "May is the month of Mary" from these processions. I also recall a Sacred Heart procession in June sometime when one of my faves was "Faith of our Fathers"
My dads fave hymn was also "The Old Rugged Cross" and Mum has requested "I watch the Sunrise" for her funeral along with "Colours of Day"

My sister was the May Queen, I love I'll sing a hymn to Mary, I'd forgotten that, also Faith of our Fathers. My Dad had Colours of day too, he loved listening to the young ones singing it.
Fortunately for me, the Camelmeister professes it's possible to love someone who's apparently about as useful as a pebble in the desert.
With reference to "I Vow to Thee my Country", it's ironic that the words were written to fit a piece of music written by Gustav Holst; the theme from "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity". Holst was noted as being of radical thought, and recorded in his diary of his disappointment at the reaction this piece of music produced at the premier. He noted that the audience straightened their backs during this passage and he was afraid that he may have inadvertently produced music that would be misinterpreted as jingoist. He later said that he hated "I Vow to Thee My Country" because it expressed ideas with which he disagreed.
"I Vow to Thee My Country" was our school hymn so we sand it a lot; when my sister was very poorly in hospital and I worked on the Hospital Radio she asked me to play "How Great Thou Art" and ever since then I have always found it difficult to talk after listening to it.
