This song for Pentecost (The Third Hour) and in memory of Kh. Sylvia, the wife of our assistant priest, Fr Emmanuel Kahn, has been composed and sung by John Bartholomew (Brad) Wilson, a member of our choir at St Aidan's. Sylvia reposed in the Lord on the feast of Pentecost 2021.
Lyrics:
Something like tongues of fire
Came down through the air
Calling all hands together in unity, in reverie and in faith
A still voice was crying
I heard it somewhere said
They cast lots for his garments, a robe of scarlet thread
I read in ancient writing, from the good book on the shelf
That the only death with dying, was a death to oneself
And it all becomes so clear
At about the third hour
The fire came, down, down X2
And we remember Sylvia at Pentecost
Something like tongues of fire came down through the air
Chorus repeat x 2
