Carolyn Winfrey Gillette is a Presbyterian pastor (PCUSA), usually in tandem with her husband, the Rev. Bruce Gillette, who also writes hymns --- not a lost art, but certainly a diminished one. Breaking news and/or current events often are her focus.
This new one, "The Climate Is Changing," came across my virtual desk yesterday --- appropriate at a time when care of the earth and all the creatures that inhabit it has become politicized, too.
The words are set to the old Welsh tune "St. Deno," more familiar to many as the setting for Walter Chalmers Smith's "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise."
If you're interested in more of Gillette's work, here's the link to her Web site.
If you'd like to sing along, here's a performance of the St. Deno hymn tune:
