This English folk prayer, which celebrates the cycle of planting, growth and harvest, is set to music as a lyrical canon. The arching melody line has an exquisite spaciousness, suggesting the limitless bounty of the world. (With a very small choir, this song may be easily adapted to be sung in two or three parts.)
Before the Bread
Before the bread the mill,
Before the mill the grain,
Before the grain, the sun and rain,
The beauty of God's will.
