SCIAF's Anniversary Hymn
Internationally acclaimed hymnwriter, Rev John Bell, has written SCIAF a new hymn to celebrate our 60thAnniversary!
‘Because’ draws inspiration from Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ and was finished the day after the Holy Father passed.
Canon Michael Hutson, Parish Priest at St Mary's Benbecula, SCIAF Board Member, said:
"John’s generosity in writing this hymn is a blessing for us all. His words place on our lips the St Francis-inspired praise of God for creation. I hope the hymn will soon be sung throughout Scotland and beyond.”
Excitingly, SCIAF has enlisted the help of Catholic pop sensation Michelle McManus to record a live version of the hymn this summer – watch this space for a video coming soon!
If you or your Parish are interested in singing the hymn, you can download the music today.
