Songs that sing!

TREES ALONG THE RIVER
117 new hymn and song texts 2008–2018
with other verses
By Christopher M. Idle
Lost Coin books. 184 pages.
ISBN 978 1 784 984 250

Christopher Idle is a prolific writer of hymn texts. This is his third collection, after Light upon the River and Walking by the River.

The texts are based on passages from Scripture, each with a theme, and arranged in biblical order with suggestions for tunes. Some of the texts are written to well-known tunes, some have tunes commissioned for them and others are set to specific metres, waiting for a tune. Other Scripture references and background notes are provided for each text.
