for Harvest
HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, as President of World
Wildlife Fund International, introduces this special edition of Songs of Praise. It asks about the Christian responsibility for creation, and the exploitation of natural resources, at a time when overproduction and famine exist side by side. In Southwell Minster
Roger Royle joins local
Christians to sing traditional harvest hymns. He asks
GEOFF FARNSWORTH how he safeguards his business interests while still caring for the environment. A school choir travels from Blackburn to sing its own new harvest song. In Zambia President Kenneth Kaunda speaks of his faith, and reflects on an African answer to the use of natural resources; and the HERITAGE CHOIR sings an African setting of the Canticle of St Francis.
Come. ye thankful people, come (St George); All things bright and beautiful (Rutter); Morning has broken (Bunessan); For the beauty of the earth (Noricum); Care for your world; Canticle of the creatures; Let us. with a gladsome mind (Monkland) Prayer and blessing
