It's in Double Common Metre, so any number of tunes will fit. I have set it to A PURPLE ROBE, CP 152 or available at https://www.hopepublishing.com/find-hymns-hw/hw1984.aspx<br /><br />CP 510 "You Have Passed By" reflects exactly that sense that the disciples may have felt, and that we, too, may feel in the face of the Ascension, a nice contrast from the usual triumphal<br />exaltation. It's a beautiful lyric by Huub Oosterhuis set to a medieval pavanne.Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953574041544310550.post-56291868317978681392018-05-06T19:26:20.160-07:002018-05-06T19:26:20.160-07:00What about Thuma Mina?
