This was how I first got into publishing - it seems that in some churches you can’t say ‘set prayers’ because they ‘don’t come from the heart’, but woe betide the minister who doesn’t provide a good diet of ‘set prayers’ set to music - i.e. hymns!

Kevin Mayhew snapped up the first thirty and things just went from there. A couple of collections are below - and a good deal more will be found in the Mayhew Hymn Books, ‘Hymns Old and New’
