How lovely is that dwelling-place
How widely now does Christ stretch out his arms

In homage we sing
In the heart where love is abiding
In the shelter of a stable
In the sound of a mighty wind
In this place – [commission: St Michael's, Watford, Centenary service]

When Matthew heard the Master call his name
When rays of that first morning light (Sumsion: Four Hymns)
Why in the dawning of another day
Wings of a pale dove
Wise men three
With this, our godly scholar – [commission: Edington Festival, tribute to George Herbert]

Your feet, O Lord, have walked this earth
Your love flows down
