Of freedom and release;
God shall fulfill the promise
To bring our people peace.

A child of grace is giv'n;
A Savior comes among us
To raise us up to heaven.
Before him goes the herald,
Forerunner in the way
The prophet of salvation,
The messenger of Day.

The sun begins to rise,
The dawning of forgiveness
Upon the sinners' eyes,
To guide the feet of pilgrims
Along the paths of peace:
O bless our God and Savior

He also studied at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and received a M.Phil. from the University of Southhampton in 1973. Ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1966, Perry served the parish of St. Helen's in Liverpool as a youth worker and evangelist. From 1972 to 1981 he was the vicar of Bitterne in Southhampton and from 1981 to 1989, rector of Eversley in Hampshire and chaplain at the Police Staff College. He then became vicar of Tonbridge in Kent, where he remained until his death from a brain tumor in 1996. Perry published widely in the areas of Bible study and worship. He edited Jubilate publications such as Hymns far Today's Church (1982), Carols far Today (1986), Come Rejoice! (1989), and Psalms for Today (1990). Composer of the musical drama Coming Home (1987), he also wrote more than two hundred hymns and Bible versifications.
