Listen to…
An old recording from BBC Radio 4 – “Sunday Worship”
Minimum order of 8 copies.
A beautiful setting of Stephenson’s text, written and dedicated as a wedding gift to friends of the composer.
Trusty, dusky, vivid, true,
With eyes of gold and bramble-dew,
Steel-true and blade-straight,
The great artificer
Made my mate.
Honour, anger, valour, fire;
A love that life could never tire,
Death quench or evil stir,
The mighty master
Gave to her.
Teacher, tender comrade, wife,
A fellow-farer true through life,
Heart-whole and soul-free
The august father
Gave to me.
