Hymns for children

This much-loved series devoted to the rich treasure store that is the English Hymn now turns its attention in this evocative disc to a repertoire that will be familiar and fond to us all, taking us back to our earliest days of hymn-singing at school. Not that all these hymns are geared to the child's perspective on belief, but that their catchy popularity and universal durability have earned them a special place in youngsters' hearts. Who better to respond to this touching trip down memory lane than the acclaimed Wells Cathedral Choir and their specialist director Malcolm Archer with the cathedral organist Rupert Gough?
Texts are included in full - for those who cannot quite recall how the second verse - or line! - goes - as well as notes by Alan Luff.

Tracks:

All things bright and beautiful
Little Jesus, sweetly sleep
Morning has broken
When a Knight won his Spurs
There is a green Hill far away; He who would valiant be; Tell me the Stories of Jesus
Daisies are our silver
God, my Father, loving me
There's a Friend for little Children
What a Friend we have in Jesus
Lord of the Dance
Loving Shepherd of thy Sheep
Gentle Jesus, meek and mild
Children of the Heavenly King
From out of a Wood did a Cuckoo fly
All Glory, Laud and Honour
Away in a Manger
Jesus, good above all other
Onward Christian Soldiers
All Things which live below the Sky
Now the Day is over
Jesus, Friend of little Children
Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me
Dear Lord, and Father of Mankind
