Christopher Idle is a prolific writer of hymn texts. This is his third collection, after Light upon the River and Walking by the River.
The texts are based on passages from Scripture, each with a theme, and arranged in biblical order with suggestions for tunes. Some of the texts are written to well-known tunes, some have tunes commissioned for them and others are set to specific metres, waiting for a tune. Other Scripture references and background notes are provided for each text.
