This is another song by Robin Mann. The tune starts out as Waltzing Matilda then goes off on its own after a few lines. I worry it gets a bit sing songy but perhaps it would reward careful use.
Verse 1
How shall I call you? Maker of heaven,
poet of sunset and painter of sky,
Father almighty, who’s running to find us,
giving his Son who must suffer and die.Chorus
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Spirit,
let’s sing it again and again.
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Spirit,
forever and ever. Amen.Verse 2
How shall I call you? Lover of children,
shepherd and teacher and brother and friend,
healer of blind man and healer of leper;
you are beginning and middle and end.Chorus
Verse 3
How shall I call you? Spirit of comfort,
cloud in the daytime and fire in the night,
guide as we wander, protector in danger,
listener and helper and giver of sight.Chorus
Verse 4
How shall I call you? Master and servant,
lord of the seasons and lord of the years;
faithful and constant in loving and mercy,
giver of laughter and taker of tears.Chorus

Would love an MP3/Midi of this. Thanks
This song and many others by Robin Mann are available on Robin’s website. The ‘All Together’ range of books are fantastic, having used then extensively in South Africa. I even had the pleasure of having Robin and Dorothy Mann staying with us for a few days. The ‘All Together’ range books now encompass 7 volumes. I don’t know how to attach the midi file to this comment, but you are welcome to write to me on the above email address. Regards, Eddie
I was visiting a church when on holiday and heard this song and loved it. I hoped it was on the internet, and it was!
