from Harborne,
Birmingham Harborne was one of the villages overtaken in the last century by the expansion of Birmingham. Some of its residents tell Geoffrey Wheeler about their lives, and join people from the local churches to sing their favourite hymns in the newly enlarged Roman Catholic Church of St Mary's.
Alleluia, sing to Jesus (Hyfrydol); Come down, 0 love divine (Down Ampney); Father, hear the prayer we offer (Marching); Our God reigns; 0 Love that wilt not let me go (St Margaret); Where cross the crowded ways of life (St Bartholomew); God's Spirit is in my heart; Love divine, all loves excelling (Abbot's Leigh)
