Yesterday, 8.7.2016, our music director chose as recessional an inspirational hymn that I had never heard before, "I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light," music and words written about 1966 by Kathleen Thomerson. It is in the Oregon Catholic Press hymnal we use at St. William's. The melody is soft, easy, and the words "quietly" meditative. As I suspected, the hymn has a Methodist background.
