Covenant Hymn

The Methodist church has a covenant service at the start of the year in which the congregation and minister/s re-commit to serving God and the community in the coming year. In New Zealand, this service is often held on the first Sunday in February, after members have returned from the summer holiday.

Note that the refrain is sung before each verse. The setting of each verse is slightly different to fit the words.

Christmas Halleluia

This is a simple round which we have sung in 2 parts. An adventurous group could try it in four parts.

Christ is always near to me

The words were written by Philip's maternal grandfather Rev Robert Ebenezer Fordyce (1897-1981) who was a Methodist minister. Rev Fordyce titled the poem "Christ’s abiding presence" and based it on Matthew 28:20.

Philip has set these words to the well known tune Hyfrydol.
