with Thora Hird
All the hymns tonight are for people who serve and have served their country in times of danger and war.
The theme is God as our strength and stay, and Thora reads letters from viewers about words and music that have helped them through troubled days.

J.Kirkpatrick ); Fight the good fight (Pentecost); Make me a channel of your peace (Channel of peace); Jerusalem ; (Parry), Oh valiant hearts (Supreme sacrifice); All people that on earth do dwell (L. Bourgeois)
