Cathedral's 150th: From More Hymns. Dean Charles Tyrrell
of Nelson Cathedral, New Zealand, commissioned me to write a hymn for
the 150th Anniversary celebrations for the weekend of 13 – 15 December,
2001. The name of the hill on which the Cathedral stands is Piki mai
(‘Come up hither’), hence the reference in verse 5 and the name of the
tune Charles wrote for the hymn. When it was filmed and presented for
the first time on the “Praise Be” programme of December 9, he himself
played the organ to accompany the singing by the congregation. Suggested tune: : Russian Anthem, A.Lvov (A&MR 491) Please press the red title to
hear a MIDI recording of this tune, and then re-open this window to
read the poem while listening. If you would prefer to follow the tune and text on paper you may download a PDF file of this hymn. For permission to perform or
reproduce this poem, or for enquiries regarding the purchase of 'Hymns For All
Seasons', please contact
