Dave, thanks for mentioning Songs of Praise. I'm just looking through to spot ones I remember from school.

"All the scenes of nature quicken", to a Chinese based tune called Shanghai.

"By the breadth of the blue", to Hickling Broad

"Forth in thy name", tune by Orlando Gibbons, Angel's Song ( I remember the Ancient and Modern flattened out the rhythm appallingly)

"So here hath been dawning", to Hardwick

just for starters.

Then there was Congregational Praise, complied for the Congregationalists, and with hymns I've not seen anywhere else. Though these may not be they.

"The God of Abram Praise" to Leoni

"The spacious firmament", to London (Think its in SOP, too)

"My song is love unknown" to John Ireland's tune

"Fairest Lord Jesus", to St, Elisabeth

They were a singing church in a way the Anglicans are not. Pity.
