God Is Here (ABBOT'S LEIGH)

This hymn was commissioned in 1978 by University United Methodist Church in Austin, Texas for the closing service of an eight-month long festival centering around the themes of worship, music, and the arts. The text is by Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000), a retired British Methodist pastor and renowned contemporary hymn writer. It is sung to the glorious and exuberant tune ABBOT’S LEIGH, written in 1941 by Cyril V. Taylor (1907-1991). Abbot’s Leigh is a village near Bristol, England, where the composer was serving in the wartime headquarters of the Religious British Broadcasting Department of the BBC. It was printed on a leaflet by Oxford University Press and paired with the text “Glorious things of thee are spoken.”
