The Father's Love
Words: John 15.9-12 (Jerusalem Bible)

'As the father has loved me, so have I loved you. Remain in my love.
This is my commandment: that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
God is love, and those who live in love, live in God and God lives in them.
If ye keep my commandments, and ye love one another, as I have loved you, your joy will be complete.'


A note from the composer:
'I wrote the piece back in 1983 when I was Organist at Croydon Parish Church (now Croydon Minster). We had an excellent girls' choir there and one of the ex-choristers was getting married and asked me whether I would write a piece for her wedding. I have always loved those words from St John's Gospel. At the first performance, it was heard by one of the senior RSCM [Royal School of Church Music] staff who recommended it for publication. Since then it has travelled all around the world and has been translated into various languages. I am always very grateful to choirs who perform it still and so glad that people enjoy singing it.'
Simon Lole.
