Text: Traditional Hebrides
Music: © 1984 Kathy Wonson Eddy
Kathy kindly sent me this song among many others a few years ago: she is a great source of liturgical choral music. I have sung it with our chorus and another smaller group, but Carol and I wanted to keep it in our repertoire, so here's a third way to sing it. Kathy lives in Randolph, Vermont.
Gordon – viol
Carol - harp
Round our skiff's be God's aboutness
Ere she try the deeps of sea
Sea-shell frail for all her stoutness
Unless Thou her helmsman be
Round Our Skiff is recorded on the album Herrings in the Bay
