Welcome to Durham Cathedral,
Hear the sweet voice of our God.
Come ye, where pilgrims from out of the past
With wearisome footsteps have trod.
There is history to Durham Cathedral,
And such holiness is ours to behold.
Sunlight enters through a circular window,
The coloured window, known as The Rose.
Saint of the North - ah, the greatest!
Behind the High Altar he's enshrined,
St.Cuthbert, beloved of Lindisfarne fame
We never falter as we worship his name.
So come ye, to Durham Cathedral,
And hear God's sweet voice once again.
Joyce Hemsley
