I have been looking for the words, and the chords too if possible, of what I think is a Shaker hymn.
The only bit I can clearly remember is the phrase "when we meet together" which is part of the chorus (I think).

I'm not finding anything on the Shaker hymn sites. I wonder if it could be "Let Us Break Bread Together" which is not a Shaker tune.

You might check Cyber Hymnal and see if anything there trips your trigger. I'll ask WYSIWYG to check in here, she might know.

I have been informed that as I heard it in Devon it could be a Devon song and not a hymn at all.
Sorry if I sent people off in the wrong direction but I had had a few when I heard it.

That's OK, we're still looking. Got Mrs. Preacher on the trail too. Don't give up hope!

I do have a new Shaker hymnal, but I am still finding my way around in it. If this pops up I will post it. It';s our bedtime study book so it would be in the next month or so as we work our way through it.

Sorcha, post them links girl!

vectis, can you ask others who were present whassup widdiss?

Mrs. Preacher indeed! Mostly he just fiddles around! (You know those guys only work on Sundays!) Ask anyone who was at our Gathering!

If you can handle abc notation, it's in this thread. Or PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a midi.

Wassail! V
