This page provides links 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 which you can view with this link or you can click on the link at the end of each snippet from the first verses as listed below.

all life prepares to die.

Here we are in 2050,
Zero Carbon Day is here,
global warming has been halted,
children laugh and adults cheer.
