Alan Ridout

1934 - 1996 Person Name: Alan Ridout, 1934-1996 Topics: Years A, B, and C Mothering Sunday Composer of "BLACK MADONNA" in Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New

Topics: Years A, B, and C Mothering Sunday Author of "Bind us together, Lord" in Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New Bob Gillman United Kingdom 1946-present, Born at West Ham, East London, England, he attended a local Catholic school, SW Ham Technical School, after which he attended Abbs Cross Technical School, Hornchurch. He attended the Central Baptist Church at West Ham, expressing faith in Christ at age 13. Musically inclined, he learned to play the guitar and banjo. He also composed songs. He authored a children’s book (for ages four-seven): ‘Tales of Upchurch Station’, reflecting his interest in steam trains. He did this while managing a printing company. He passed exams that permitted him to work with the London underground as a signalman. He finished his career in that employ. He described how churches in the early 1970s were experiencing new spiritual awakening, Pentecostal style, and that it even affected the Church of England. At All Souls, Langham Place, its minister, Michael Harper, was inspired to write a couple of booklets on the experiences he and others were having, and the Biblical basis for it. The movement resulted in house churches developing, as in the days of early Christianity. One such meeting Gillman attended on a Tuesday evening in a home, he was eager to learn about what God was doing through this outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He was struck by the warmth, vibrancy, and joy being experienced as the Holy Spirit became manifest. While the group prayed, he felt the words come to mind, “Bind us together”. A song formed in his mind, and he sang it before the group. In days ahead he added two more verses to his song (others have added verses also). Later, he was involved in a multi-church Christian musical which was touring the London area. After a performance, the group was sitting, relaxing, and he sang his song. They all joined in. The song was then passed from person to person and church to church. He learned in time that the song was being sung around the world. No information found about wife, family, or current whereabouts.
