from Oxford University
Sally Magnusson visits the 'city of dreaming spires' for a special edition from one of Britain's oldest universities. Sally meets a first-year medical student, RUTH HALL , in the labs, and joins CALLY HAMMOND in the library of St John's College to look at some of the medieval books that reflect the university's long tradition of scholarship.
The hymns are sung by dons and students in the University Church of St Mary the Virgin.
All for Jesus (All for Jesus); Praise the Lord; My song is love unknown (Love Unknown); Just as I am. without one plea (Woodworth);
Lead. kindly light (Alberta); I bind unto myself today (St Patrick s Breastplate); Jesus is Lord; God your glory
