We bring the exuberant and uplifting sound of gospel music to these two central London churches each month. We wanted a song that spoke to hope and community so we decided on 'The prayer' as a way of bringing hope and comfort to those that hear the song.

Stay, stay until the hasting day Has run but to the evensong, And, having pray'd together, we Will go with you along. We have short time to stay, as you, We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you, or anything. We die, as your hours do, and dry away, Like to the summer's rain, Or as the pearls of morning's dew, Ne'er to be found again.  less

Here paths taken lead to unexpected places. Carefully considered goals prove to be illusive, unattainable, or not what they seemed. Expectations of preconceived outcomes prove futile ("I saw a man"), naively optimistic ("A learned man"), foolhardy ("There was set before me a mighty hill"), or at best unrealistic ("The wayfarer").
