A Letter in The Age

From The Age, Melbourne, Saturday, November 14, 2020.

“Though the evening of the Trump presidency is not playing out as fast as many would like, I suggest the president-elect and his supporters keep on singing, aBiden With Me, Fast Falls the Eventide.”

Paul Castley,

Kew.                

(And the sub- editor placed the heading, Keep Faith, Mr Biden)

The hymn which President-elect Joe Biden quoted in his address to the nation, November 7, was the Michael Joncas’ version of Eagles’ Wings, a favourite of his and of his family:

And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
