Our arrangement of the English folk melody STOWEY actually gives you three options for how it’s used:
As the folk melody STOWEY,
As the hymn When a Knight Won His Spurs:
When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old,
He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand,
For God and for valour he rode through the land.
As the Christmas carol How Far Is It To Bethlehem?
How far is it to Bethlehem, not very far?
Shall we find the stable room lit by a star?
Can we see the little child, is He within?
If we lift the wooden latch, may we go in?
As the hymn Praise God for the Harvest, words by Brian Wren
