You can click on the images below to link to a number of hymns I have written. Each links to a page with a brief introduction, the full text, a youtube singalong video and a link to the text as a PowerPoint presentation.
I’ve also put these together into a small book. There are two versions: this link takes you to a version that you can print out and assemble into a small physical booklet. This link takes you to a version that is more suitable for viewing on a screen.
