Songs for Fall 2021

“I Met A Stranger on the Road”

“I Met A Stranger on the Road” is a hymn with words by David Bjorlin, set to a traditional Scottish tune and arranged by John Bell.

You can hear a recording of it here.

The sheet music is here.

“God Calls You Good”

“God Calls You Good” is a beautiful hymn by our wonderful friend and teacher, Paul Vasile. Our own Angela Morris has arranged a version of it for use at Saint Lydia’s (where we don’t have a piano but have voices with which to add harmony).

It’s included in Songs for the Holy Other: Hymns Affirming LGBTQIA2S+ Community.

You can hear a recording of the original version here, (and here, for those interested, is the original sheet music).

Here’s a recording of Angela’s version for voices only, which is what we’ll be using, and here is the sheet music.
