An excellent anthology of anthems and hymns for worship, with original words and compositions by John Bell and Graham Maule. Some songs use traditional Scottish folk song melodies and some are original compositions. Music can be played with piano or guitar, or can be sung unaccompanied.
Themes include:
- Jesus on the Royal Road (songs about the people Jesus met on his way to the cross, and about his suffering and death)
- Jesus Resurrected (songs of Jesus' resurrection and of the constant need for resurrection in all of life)
- the Holy Spirit coming to stay (songs of Pentecost and of the promises of Jesus)
- meditative chants and responses
Highly recommended: good for worship in North America as well as in Britain, and for small informal services as well as large Sunday morning services. ( )
