This a very usable “Ubi Caritas” from Bob Hurd. I’ve used the Taize one in the past but this has five well written verses as a bonus, three based on the original prayer and two new ones from Hurd.  There … Continue reading →

This song isn’t from Spirit & Song but I noted Chris’s parish use it as a recessional.  The tune is by the ever reliable Christopher Walker setting a text by James Harrison. I suspect it may have been meant for … Continue reading →

This is a pretty song for Eucharist written by Greg Walton. By some miracle the range is fine and the syncopation gentle so I think it is suitable for assembly singing for a change. The text is at spiritandsong where … Continue reading →
