In a world that no longer speaks of death and resurrection, the great Victorian hymns are the warehouses of forbidden emotions: hunger for comfort, dread of dying, hope of eternity.

Change and decay in all around I see,
O thou who changest not, abide with me.

This film shares the moods of a hymn that can take us to the heart of religious emotion: images of the real world bathed in the glow of 'Heaven's morning': convictions that have not lost their power.
