Hymns of the Month

The link this month is reflection. Both hymns were written as a result of the author reflecting on a particular theme.
For All The Saints
This is just one of many hymns that have been written as a reflection on the creed (that statement of beliefs which we say each week). What line in the Apostles Creed do you want to reflect on?  The line which the hymn reflects on is “the communion of saints”.
 
This hymn emphasizes the relationship and union between those on earth (the church militant) and the saints in heaven (the church triumphant).
 
Bishop How wrote his first hymn at age thirteen and was commissioned to compose a hymn text for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria (1897).

​
The Servant King
Written in 1983 “The Servant King” was Graham Kendrick’s most popular song until he wrote “Shine Jesus Shine” and was written to reflect Spring Harvest’s theme in 1984.   Graham found the theme very inspiring: 'It was a challenge to explore the vision of Christ as the servant who would wash the disciples' feet but who was also the Creator of the universe.'
 
The song starts from an incarnational root - 'From heav'n you came, helpless babe' - and progresses to one of Graham's most poignant lines: 'Hands that flung stars into space to cruel nails surrendered'.
