Ancient Hymns

Hymns bring memories and a sense of hope.
Old ones remind me of my childhood
With family gathered around the piano to sing together.
New ones make me part of today and the future,
Part of the ever woven fabric of Christianity.
The greatest hymns are very old:
The Psalms.
I shall read a Psalm today
As I listen to a hymn,
So that the music in my ears
Is echoed in my soul.
