This is song rooted in the humility that our knowledge of God is individual, incomplete and contradictory. It sings well too, to the English traditional tune HERE’S TO THE MAIDEN. The sheet music for that is here.
The text is by John Bell and Graham Maule and credited to the Iona community. You can find it on page five of this bulletin.
It is available in the collection Heaven Shall Not Wait that can be purchased at Wild Goose.
There’s a lot of 6/8 going on these hymns.
This is the folk song where the tune originates.
