The Glorious Ancient of Days.

Royston 1946 (Reading)

Such a wonderful way to worship
and a marvellous way to declare,
the Splendour of God and His Lordship
to all the people gathering there.

You filled the Cathedral with harmony
as you played out your heartfelt praise,
each chord declaring the Majesty
of the Glorious Ancient of Days.

About this poem
