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.
