Islanders are being invited to join a 'hymn-a-long' to celebrate Easter and show support for those struggling in isolation because of coronavirus.
A performance of 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' will be led by Jersey-born singer Georgi Mottram, which you'll be able to hear on Channel 103 from 10:30 this morning (12 April).
She wants Jersey to sing along with her where it's safe to do so.
‘Music is such a brilliant way of bringing people together, boosting mood and moral. I’m so proud to be leading this Sunday’s Hymn-A-Long. As a Jersey girl I’ve so often seen our strong and kind Jersey community pulling together and it’s always inspired me.
"Whilst the current circumstances mean we can’t celebrate Easter Sunday together in person, please come and join us in song. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t sung since school: I promise it will make your day brighter!"

The lyrics to the song are:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows for our play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all...
