Whatbeautiful faces singing Blest are the pure in heart. I. Also enjoyed the interviews and the sense of the place , landscape and thetime...what a gift to world weary 2021
Enjoyed this so much I looked up and purchased the vinyl record which I discovered has the hymns as recorded for this episode (BBC Records Songs of Praise Vol.2)
David Wright, the organist departed us a couple of days ago.. He was the pillar of musical education in Boston for 50 years.. I owe my career to his careful stewardship as a Grammar School lad..
I was seven at the time and remember Songs of Praise, including Geoffrey Wheeler. The tune is in D minor, although it ends with a Picardy Third (listen for the F#). It was another seven years before I became a Christian and five before I started going to church. Personally, I don't like the signature tune as when growing up it sounded sinister!

We need this again in 2020!
Remarkable such an old episode survives - and only in this archive!
Lovely to watch and spot people I knew
Songs of Praise in the great days!
The glory days have long gone!

I was 9 years old when this was filmed. How life has changed. I do not recognize the Nation grew up in anymore......
I was 16 -- I certainly don't recognize the world, either.

Saint Botolph's Church is beautiful.
Praise the Lord Jesus
