Breathe on me Breath of God: MacKay United Church Virtual Choir

As with many church choirs during these difficult times, we have tried our hand at a virtual choir project. Due to our technical limitations, we focused only on audio. As such we are presenting our offering with video slides overtop, displaying the words which you can sing along with, as well as a photo of our sanctuary as a backdrop.

The hymn we choose is Breathe on me Breath of God. The words were written in 1878 by Edwin Hatch. The music, in 1888 by Robert Jackson. This media is released by MacKay United Church under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
