Lord Of All Hopefulness is a hymn written by agnostic Jan Struther which was published in the enlarged edition of "Songs of Praise" 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= A Celebration of Women Writers )〕 (Oxford University Press) in 1931, the hymn is used in liturgy, at weddings and at the beginning of funeral services. It is set to the melody of an Irish folksong, collected in the village of ''Slane'', which is also the melody of another well-known hymn, Be Thou My Vision. In English hymn books, where traditional folk tunes are used, the place of collection is attributed as the tune name. The hymn has also been given its own tune, "Miniver" (originally in The BBC Hymn Book 1951), which acknowledges Jan Struther by reference to her famous text character "Mrs Miniver". 〔Milgate, W. ''Songs of the People of God. A Companion to the Australian Hymn Book/With One Voice ''. London: Collins Liturgical Publications, 1982. ISBN 0 00 599704 6〕 This hymn can also be found in the 1971 combined red Hymn Book of the Anglican Church of Canada and the United Church of Canada, set to the tune "Avonlea" by Stanley Osborne, with a note saying that it could also be sung to the tune "Slane" with a few modifications to the melody. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lord of All Hopefulness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
