Congregational hymns

Please note that there are several differences between the words on the printed Order of Service and the words in CH4. At the bottom of this webpage you’ll find an annotated copy of the Order of Service. There will also be printed copies of the annotated Order of Service available for all the choir on Sunday. You will therefore need to try and juggle the printed Order of Service with CH4 on Sunday (if you wish to follow the tune as well as the words)!

  1. CH4 198 – Let us build a house (Tune: Two Oaks) – https://youtu.be/gKJgcv8SdnQ?si=jwWTT4NxzU0rk9ld
  2. CH4 465 – Be thou my vision – https://youtu.be/YxvXGgSlRcs?si=73Rp5K7lGPzxqBkp
  3. CH4 533 – ‘Will you come and follow me’ – https://youtu.be/1EOmW1_gJwY?si=pH9aM0eTXFkLtslF&t=20
  4. CH4 664 (vv 1-4) – Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face. Sung to the tune ‘Song 22’ at CH4 495 – https://music.churchofscotland.org.uk/hymn/495-spirit-of-god-descend-upon-my-heart (audio recording only – skim down and click on the ‘Play’ button). Unfortunately, I can’t find a recording of CH4 664 sung to the tune we’re using, so this recording of the tune we’re using (‘Song 22’) is to completely different words!
  5. Sacrament of Holy Communion (Choir: “New Beginnings”)
  6. CH4 237 – Lord forward in faith – https://youtu.be/VIs2MRyOrW0?si=0LOzU1eJuJ0sK3Vm

Note that the words in the recordings will not always be the same as in our hymnaries
