On the Death of a Child

Sadly, deaths of children do occur, either through natural causes or accident, or, as in the case of the dreadful events at Soham, by murder.

Acknowledging this reality, and the loss felt, not only by the parents, but also by their young friends, Andrew Pratt wrote a hymn for such an occasion when he edited Sound Bytes.

The hymn is included here and may be copied and used by anyone arranging a service in these circumstances, without recourse to Stainer & Bell, so long as the copyright notices as given are included.

The following hymn includes words and music and is available as a PDF file. To view it, you will need Acrobat Viewer from Adobe.
