'Tears and Celebration’ is a new hymn for the UK and Commonwealth, recorded following the death of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Written by @Andy Flannagan along with Sam Hargreaves, it is a song of remembrance, assurance and repentance, giving voice to the hearts and minds of people all over the world.
An abridged version was broadcast on BBC1 on Sunday 11th September.
Lyrics:
We see tears and celebration,
for this life so dignified,
bearing thanks and hearts of sadness,
to the God of death and life.
As he takes her to his promise,
of an audience with the King,
we remember all she gave us,
wreaths of gratitude we bring.
In these days of change and trial,
be the rock on which we stand,
when we fear in this new season,
hold us firmly in your hands.
May we rise to her example,
to be humble, kind and fair,
swift to pray and slow to anger,
choosing faith and not despair.
In the midst of coronation,
she once knelt in silent prayer,
oil was poured in Christ’s commission,
called to lead her people there.
May we know that same anointing,
move in royal authority,
then speak liberty and healing,
to a world in need of peace.
Lord forgive, when pride and envy,
leave our nation bruised and stained,
turn us back towards our calling,
to make your name great again.
May we rise above divisions,
Lord, our brokenness we bring,
that a more united kingdom,
would give glory to the King.
When our days are at their dimming,
and our work on earth is done,
may we hear as does our sovereign,
‘Faithful servant, welcome home.’
May we rise with Christ to witness,
a new heav’n and earth displayed,
ours a robe that will not tarnish,
hers a crown that will not fade.

@@WHU63 Absolutely true her majesty seemed like a figure that would always be here so it came as a great shock when I heard that she had passed away I remember when my mom told me the news and like what? You have to be kidding me? But sadly it was confirmed I absolutely love listening to her Christmas message every year I am hoping that her son king Charles III Will continue to do it if he does I will listen but it will be weird listening because it’s not the queen doing it.for 70 years of dedication and of hard work your majesty thank you

I recently received a gift of one of Andy Flanagan's CDs which I enjoyed immensely, especially as it included a booklet describing the inspiration behind the songs. So I was very interested to see that he and Sam Hargreaves had produced this hymn. It is beautifully sung by Katherine Jenkins and so meaningful for these times of change.
