Just a smudge of rainbow on the lounge carpet
Vib-gy-or, Vib-gy-or
helps us memorise,
all
the brilliant colours of Rainbows in the sky-y,
when the sun’s rays shine through
rain
both hard and light:
hurrah! The colours all appear
in bows
that bring delight.
Chorus (Chant)
Violet, indigo, blue and green,
yellow and orange and red;
these are the colours always seen
when God’s light’s re-fract-ed.
Vib-gy-or, Vib-gy-or
helps us memorise
all the brilliant colours in
bubbles rising hi-igh;
when the sun’s rays shine through
soap and water spheres;
hurrah! The colours swirl around
the short-lived surface clear
Chorus
Vib-gy-or, Vib-gy-or
helps recall with fun
all the brilliant colours in
spiders’ webs in sun;
when the sun’s rays shine through
gossamer
so fine;
hurrah! The colours all appear
along their
slender lines.
Chorus

Sing of God and Science - Project Update
Those who have found any of the above collection useful, may be interested to know that the Ely diocesan project, generously supported by the ‘Scientists in Congregations’ (SiC) programme reached a significant milestone at the end of last month. Nine church primary schools in the Ely diocese presented original songs, written within their schools, at an all-day event against the backdrop of the current Science Festival in Ely Cathedral (also supported by the SiC programme). The 320 children who took part were a delight to work with and an illustration of their enthusiasm can be seen in the following You-Tube video made by a local TV station ’ That’s Cambridge TV’.
The nine songs presented will now be put together with the songs in the ‘Assembly-friendly’ collection mentioned above and sent to the eighty church primary schools in the diocese. They will be invited to make their own videos to submit for posting to the upcoming ‘Sing of God and Science’ You-Tube channel which will be started by featuring the nine ‘Cathedral’ songs. They will also be asked to evaluate the sons prior to the publication of a larger collection (35 songs in all), hopefully published by a faith-based publishing house in the summer/autumn of this year. News of each of these steps will be posted here as they happen.

Teversham and Burrough Green church schools for their very valuable earlier involvements in the project.

PS. In addition to all of this, we used this song in a Baptism/ all-age service at one of our local churches at the end of last month. The very familiarity with the tune enabled a congregation of regular and visiting worshippers that had never seen the song before to join in - some with apparent ease,
