Anthem: And I Saw A New Heaven - Bainton

"A Song for the Season of Creation" was commissioned for St Bride's Choir in recognition of their #PlasticLessLent campaign and premiered on Sunday 26th May 2019. Scores of various arrangements available for FREE at www.stbrides.com/creation

Composer Ian Stephens set the poem "Everything holds together" by Malcolm Guite. The anthem is available in a number of arrangements suitable for choirs and singing groups of all ranges and sizes.

It is hoped that "A Song for the Season of Creation" will be performed in churches throughout the land, either as part of Season of Creation services or Harvest Festivals.

The anthem is a song of praise for God's Creation and a timely reminder of our duty of stewardship to protect & enhance the environment in which we live.

Everything Holds Together
=====================
Everything holds together, everything,
From stars that pierce the dark like living sparks,
To secret seeds that open every spring,
From spanning galaxies to spinning quarks,
Everything holds together and coheres,
Unfolding from the center whence it came.
And now that hidden heart of things appears,
The first-born of creation takes a name.

And shall I see the one through whom I am?
Shall I behold the one for whom I’m made,
The light in light, the flame within the flame,
Eikon tou theou, image of my God?
He comes, a little child, to bless my sight,
That I might come to him for life and light.
