The Lady of the Shawls – A Tribute to our Prayer Shawl Chain
This song was written by our own Calum MacRitchie as a loving tribute to the ladies who form the Prayer Shawl Chain. Organist Michael Morgan arranged a traditional tune for it. After several practices, On Sunday, February 14th (Valentine’s Day), the ladies wore red and sang this as an anthem. A true tribute to the love the ladies put into their work to produce these warm shawls.
The Lady of the Shawls
In the warm glow of her kindly spirit,
In the hush of the evening, quietly sitting,
Casting, stitching, binding and knitting,
the Lady of the Shawls.
With garter stitch, chain, and yarn over needle,
As her heart desires, her hands deliver,
Blessed at the table before it is given,
the Lady of the Shawls
Her mind may rove to where it will finish,
In humble cottage, mansion or villa,
Spanning the oceans, mountains and rivers
the Lady of the Shawls
Tenderly sharing her grace and her vision,
To honour her Saviour’s glorious mission,
Adorning her faith with the joy of giving
the Lady of the Shawls
In the warm glow of her kindly spirit
In the hush of the evening quietly sitting
Casting, stitching, binding and knitting
the Lady of the Shawls
