Can we add hymns ??

"O God, our help in ages past ..."  (for when we can't find them on the censuses)

"Help us to help each other Lord ... "   (for RootsChatters who are ALWAYS helpful)

"And did those feet in ancient times ...
Walk upon Englands mountains green ... " 

and ... "We plough the fields and scatter, the good seed on the land ..." (for our ag. lab's)

"O happy day ... "  (when the certificate drops through the letter box)

A very, very obscure one, but my all-time favourite song

I Have Always Been Here Before - Roky Erickson

Glen



Erm, just remembered another by the same singer. Very apt title

If You Have Ghosts - Roky Erickson
