[note 1] Sarten—original composition by Elizabeth and Jeremy Shipp. Both Sarten and Eternal Knot are settings of verse translations of the psalms, from Digby Wrangham's rhymed psalter, Lyra Regis, 1885 (still in print). The tune is named after David and Joe Sarten.
[note 2] Lucas—Neither I nor anyone at the singing had ever sung Lucas before. Tune probably by David Lucas, text by Charles Wesley. 297 in the 2010 Christian Harmony, with one more verse. Not in SH.
[note 3] Eternal Knot—original composition by Elizabeth and Jeremy Shipp.
[note 4] Russia—Setting of the Sacred Harp four-note version, in Swan shapes, by Karen Willard.
