Building Bridges
Hymn composed by
Contemporary English Quaker RoundContextual information
Elizabeth Cave, a British Quaker, first heard this song at the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, which was a peaceful sit-in at an air base in England at which nuclear missiles were being housed. She sent the song to the Britain Yearly Meeting children’s meeting newsletter where it was published. Someone else saw it there and submitted it to Sing Out Magazine, who published it in their Rise Up Singing collection. Nick Page’s arrangement of this round, which was premiered at General Assembly 2002, is published by Hal Leonard Publishing.

Building Bridges between our divisions,
I reach out to you, will you reach out to me?
With all of our voices and all of our visions,
friends, we could make such sweet harmony.
