Los Angeles Bishop Celebrates Gay Marriage

[Mahewston]

The music sounds like the Sanctuary in Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past!

[EarthboundSpiral]

To Mahewston: The tune is Abbot's Leigh (by Cyril Vincent Taylor, composed in 1941)

In the 1982 Hymnal (#379, 2nd stanza), this tune accompanies my all-time favorite hymn text (by Timothy Rees):

GOD IS LOVE; AND LOVE ENFOLDS US, ALL THE WORLD IN ONE EMBRACE.

WITH UNFAILING GRASP GOD HOLDS US, EVERY CHILD OF EVERY RACE.

AND WHEN HUMAN HEARTS ARE BREAKING UNDER SORROW'S IRON ROD,

THEN WE FIND THAT SELFSAME ACHING--DEEP WITHIN THE HEART OF GOD.
