Gather us in. Tune 'Tambaran by Cyril Taylor. Words George Matheson

Today , here is another in my series 'Forgotten Hymn Tunes and Hymns'. The words of this Hymn, although written well over 100 years ago by George Matheson, seem particularly poignant and relevant for our 21st century troubled world. Cyril Taylor's fine tune , 'Tambaram' , is from the 1950 BBC Hymn Book. I cannot find any reference to how or why this tune was called Tambaram except perhaps , the diverse culture of the city in India with which, maybe, Cyril Taylor had a connection. George Matheson is best remembered for his Hymn 'O love that will not let me go', and Cyril Taylor for his fine tune, 'Abbots Leigh' I play five verses, the first a 'play over' soloing the melody on a Trumpet stop , using the harmony setting of verses 2 and 3. This is followed by the four verses as set in the music, the first and last using the unison setting . Played on St. Mary le Bow, Cheapside, Hauptwerk sample set 1 Gather us in, thou Love that fillest all! Gather our rival faiths within thy fold! Rend all our temple veils and bid them fall, that we may know that thou hast been of old; gather us in. 2 Gather us in: we worship only thee; in varied names we stretch a common hand; in diverse forms a common soul we see; in many ships we seek one spirit-land; gather us in. 3 Each sees one colour of thy rainbow light; each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven; thou art the fullness of our partial sight; we are not perfect till we find the seven; gather us in. 4 Some seek a Father in the heavens above, some ask a human image to adore, some crave a spirit vast as life and love; within thy mansions we have all and more; gather us in.
