Seventh in the set of eight songs and hymns performed at the church in Doon Heritage Village, Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum.
Music: John Bacchus Dykes - c.1856
Words: Sarah Flowers Adams - c.1841
According to legend, a string quartet played this tune on the Titanic as it sank in 1912. Somewhat more reliably, the hymn may have been sung by passengers on the Valencia as it sank off the coast of Canada in 1906.

"No big production. Just me and my guitar. Hope you like it!" - Stephen
Stephen was a lead tenor in several high profile Canadian choirs who sounds like he should be doing Disney movie duets, but he's best known for being the cantor at St. James' Cathedral, Toronto for over a decade. While there he met many celebrities including Desmond Tutu, Queen Elizabeth, King Charles and other members of the royal family.
He'll be singing Victorian/Edwardian era songs and hymns on weekends at the church in Doon Heritage Village at the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum. It's the only place he'd ever consider performing at because, in his own words, "it's got great acoustics and I don't have to use a mic or get up on a stage!"
