1 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,440 There are more trees on earth 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,840 than there are stars in the Milky Way. 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,160 There can hardly be a view in Britain 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,000 that is not graced by trees. 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,400 But there's more to them than just natural beauty. 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,680 Today I'm in County Durham, exploring the deep meaning 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,200 and symbolism of trees in the Bible and in our faith. 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,440 Welcome to Songs of Praise. 9 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,520 Coming up in today's programme, I go for a woodland walk 10 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,520 with the Bishop of Newcastle 11 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,880 and discover how trees are vital in Scripture. 12 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,840 In the whole of the Bible, there's a veritable forest of trees. 13 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,120 It begins with a tree. It ends with a tree. 14 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,320 We explore the extraordinary yew tree in Scotland 15 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,040 that's one of Europe's oldest living treasures. 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,000 This would have seen the Druids worshipping in the area. 17 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,720 It would have probably seen Roman emissaries 18 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,240 pass around about this way. 19 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,640 # Praise the Son who feeds the hungry...# 20 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,960 And we have wonderful worship music 21 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,440 that gives thanks for God's creation. 22 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840 From root to fruit. 23 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,480 # Heals the sick, upsets religion...# 24 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,480 This is Ushaw House in County Durham, 25 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,000 nestled in 500 acres of gardens, farms and woodland. 26 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,520 For over 200 years, it served as a Roman Catholic seminary 27 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,520 before closing in 2011. 28 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,720 It is now open to the public as a heritage site 29 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,640 with a focus on faith and spirituality. 30 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,160 There are some beautiful places here, 31 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,000 including this, the stunning St Cuthbert's Chapel, 32 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,080 where local Christians have gathered for much of our music today. 33 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,240 Our first hymn gives thanks to field and forest, 34 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,480 vale and mountain to Beethoven's stirring tune. 35 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,400 Trees are everywhere here at Ushaw, not only in the acres of woodland, 36 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640 but they form an integral part of the gardens, too. 37 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,120 And the same can be said about Scripture. 38 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,840 In the story of the Bible, 39 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:41,440 trees not only form part of the background, 40 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,120 but they often take centre stage. 41 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,120 To help me unpack the meaning and symbolism of trees 42 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,600 is theologian and Bishop of nearby Newcastle, 43 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,120 Helen-Ann Hartley. 44 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,520 I've never been here before and the gardens are so beautiful. 45 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,440 But you have. Yes, I've been here a couple of times before. 46 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,480 I've looked at the gardens from the outside perspective, 47 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,640 but actually to immerse myself in them right now is beautiful. 48 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,360 So, trees, they appear in all sorts of places in the Bible. 49 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,440 Why are they so important? 50 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,160 I guess in the whole of the Bible there's a veritable forest of trees. 51 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,160 It begins with a tree. It ends with a tree. 52 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,240 And I think in many ways, trees, particularly in the biblical sense, 53 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,640 speak about what it is to live, what it is to grow, 54 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,040 what it is to endure, and above all, they speak about God's provision. 55 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,760 So I think they offer us so much to reflect on 56 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,840 when we think about our faith journeys. 57 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:39,160 And are there other significant trees that appear 58 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,680 in the story of the Bible? 59 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Oh, yes, there are lots! 60 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,560 Abraham meets guests by the oaks of Mamre. 61 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,360 Elijah flees and shelters under a broom tree, 62 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,800 when he's feeling really like there's nothing more he can give. 63 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,560 So these are rich examples 64 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,800 of the ways in which particular trees give their own stories. 65 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,960 And I particularly like the story in the Gospels 66 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,640 of when Zacchaeus climbs a sycamore tree 67 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,520 in order to see Jesus, 68 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,720 and that tree then becomes that place of calling 69 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,840 and transformation for his life. 70 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,920 And Christians sometimes refer to the cross as a tree. 71 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Is that right? Yes, that's right. 72 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,000 It's interesting in both in Acts and in First Peter, 73 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,040 the cross specifically is referred to as a tree. 74 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,440 So there could be something deep at work in that particular imagery, 75 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,200 which then becomes a basis and a foundation 76 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,160 for lots of Christian imagery throughout history. 77 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,680 Trees, I think, tell us a lot about what it is to be rooted, 78 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,960 to grow, and also about God's provision for us. 79 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,880 Jesus calls himself a vine. 80 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,960 "I am the vine, you are the branches." 81 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,120 So that sense of us being connected, 82 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,760 rooted, growing patiently, 83 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,040 and rejoicing in God's provision for us. 84 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,280 And I think that's a really hopeful message. 85 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,120 Not far from here, there once stood the sycamore gap tree. 86 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240 The huge public reaction to its illegal felling 87 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,840 demonstrated our deep connection to trees. 88 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,720 As the Bishop of Newcastle, 89 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,280 it was very close to home for Helen-Ann. 90 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,400 How did the incident affect you when you heard? 91 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,680 It felt so bleak and pointless, and I think people felt a real, 92 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,560 genuine sense of grief. 93 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,120 And I think the thing about that tree is 94 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,960 that it clearly had been a companion to people's life stories 95 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,080 and the testimonies and the stories from people all over the world 96 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,920 who'd had very significant life moments, 97 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,320 you know, marriage proposals, and scattering of ashes. 98 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,200 Lots of people had a connection to that tree. 99 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,560 Despite the sadness caused by the felling, there is also hope. 100 00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:45,080 There were many saplings that were cultivated 101 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,720 from the sycamore gap tree. 102 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,680 I remember being at a primary school near to the site 103 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:51,360 where they planted a tree, 104 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,720 and the children had composed a song, 105 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,040 and it was a beautiful moment, which, you know, 106 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,680 wouldn't have happened if that tree hadn't been felled. 107 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,200 For me, that felt profoundly hopeful. 108 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,480 And I think ultimately, the message of trees in the Bible 109 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,800 is one of hope and restoration. 110 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,040 So when you think about trees in the Bible, 111 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,560 is there a particular hymn that comes to mind? 112 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:14,120 I think The Old Rugged Cross 113 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,720 talks about all of the human emotions of pain, 114 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,480 of enduring, of isolation and loneliness, 115 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,760 but which redeems itself through the resurrection. 116 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,920 But how the cross and the tree hold all of that. 117 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,280 Did you ever, as a child, try to guess the age of a tree 118 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,680 by giving it a hug, 119 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,280 or counting the rings of one that had come down? 120 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,840 Many trees are old, 121 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,640 but few come close to one growing in a churchyard in Scotland. 122 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,160 Fortingall in Perthshire, tucked away just north of Loch Tay. 123 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,720 It's a beautiful spot, like many in this part of Scotland. 124 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,880 But in the grounds of the sleepy parish church lives a yew tree 125 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,600 that is world renowned. 126 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,920 As a professional forest manager for his entire career, 127 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,160 Syd House has studied the Fortingall Yew for many years. 128 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,240 The Fortingall Yew is a very special tree 129 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,960 because it's one of the oldest trees still living in Europe. 130 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,840 Some estimates have been as young as 2,000 years old. 131 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,440 It may be up to 5,000 years old, but because the centre of the tree 132 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,240 has disintegrated and disappeared, we're making our best estimates. 133 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,320 And something of the order of 134 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,560 2,000 to 3,000 years is probably realistic. 135 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:10,880 If you'd been around that time, 136 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,680 you're going to see a lot of history. 137 00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:15,960 It would have certainly seen when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, 138 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,640 and certainly a scene when Macbeth was here 139 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,920 in around the early part of the 11th century. 140 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,040 And I think you probably can go back another thousand years 141 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,600 before that to the birth of Christ. 142 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,120 This would have seen the Druids worshipping in the area. 143 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,440 It would have probably seen Roman emissaries 144 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,040 pass around about this way. 145 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,920 Whilst the Fortingall tree is extraordinary, 146 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,920 the site of a yew tree in a churchyard is less so. 147 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,120 They're the longest lasting of all the trees. 148 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800 We don't have a lot of native evergreens in the British Isles, 149 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,920 so anything that was evergreen, like a yew tree, 150 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,320 tended to represent "everlasting", something that was eternal. 151 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,440 So it became a tradition to put them into graveyards 152 00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,560 and around churches. 153 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:06,200 Taking care of the yew is the job of tree wardens like Fran Gillespie. 154 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,960 We get thousands of visitors to the yew, literally thousands, 155 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,520 and they're people coming from all over the world to see this tree. 156 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,160 People need to see something of that age 157 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,240 and it really moves them, I think. 158 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,720 People just are in awe of the tree because it's so old, 159 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,320 and people show their interest in different ways. 160 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,800 We have people who come and sing to the tree. 161 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,720 I say, "Well, what are you doing?" 162 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,320 They say, "Oh, we're just singing to the tree," which I think is lovely. 163 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,720 I get people say they're listening to the tree as well. 164 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,640 And for Fran, it's no surprise yew trees are such a common sight 165 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,760 in churchyards like Fortingall. 166 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,840 They represent life because they are able to go on 167 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,640 regenerating themselves. 168 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,920 Not only do they have berries from which seedlings will grow, 169 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,920 if a yew tree branch touches the ground, 170 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,840 then growth will come from that. 171 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,080 They have a number of ways of regenerating themselves, 172 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,480 so they were regarded as eternal, as a symbol of life. 173 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,320 I know that many generations have passed this way before me, 174 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,960 and will have touched the tree and will have stood underneath it. 175 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,480 And it's that sense of continuity, the natural rhythm of seasons, 176 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,080 that I find so comforting, reassuring and also quite exciting. 177 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,560 To protect the ancient tree, it sits behind a locked gate 178 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,080 and the church walls. 179 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,080 It's hoped that by carefully looking after it now, 180 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,720 the yew will continue to thrive for thousands of years to come. 181 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,280 Sometimes I feel it occasionally - when I've been working 182 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,480 under the tree, I do sort of feel it has a special aura. 183 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,280 A hymn that I'm very fond of is Great Is Thy Faithfulness 184 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,800 because it talks about God being eternal. 185 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,400 I see the link to the tree because the tree is also eternal. 186 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,560 Wow. I could listen to that soulful voice all day. 187 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,800 And when it comes to powerful voices, 188 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,320 there's no-one better than the iconic Sir Bryn Terfel. 189 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,800 Here's his version of trees, 190 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,720 which sets to music the poem by Joyce Kilmer. 191 00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:15,360 As that song reminds us, only God can make a tree, 192 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,880 but it's up to us now to look after them. 193 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,200 The gardens here at Ushaw are kept looking so spectacular 194 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,160 by a team of dedicated volunteers. 195 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,600 But by putting in that hard work, they get so much out of it in return, 196 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,040 as one volunteer found out for themselves. 197 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,080 Judith Watson is tending to some of the many trees here. 198 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,640 Judith, Hi. Oh, hello, Laura. How are you? I'm fine, thank you. 199 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,920 Good. I'm just trimming the yew trees. 200 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,240 Would you like to give me a hand? 201 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,600 Yes, please. That sounds great. Excellent. 202 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,000 Judith, tell me, when did you start coming to Ushaw? 203 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,120 While it was still a Catholic seminary. 204 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,560 And then, of course, the college closed as a seminary, 205 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,080 so nothing was done in the gardens for quite a while. 206 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,360 and then in about 2012-13, they started 207 00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:14,000 a volunteer gardening group. 208 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,800 Since then, she has been one of the team of volunteers 209 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,440 that keep these gardens looking as stunning as they do today. 210 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,520 It's a beautiful place. By working in the gardens, 211 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,920 you can make a nicer environment for people to come to visit. 212 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,080 Now it's open to the public and everybody can see 213 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,120 how wonderful it is. 214 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,960 Trees are a big part on the estate. The team have just planted 215 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,560 25,000 new saplings, and 12 iconic yew trees, 216 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,240 known as the 12 Apostles, line one of the paths here. 217 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,280 We're trimming 12 new yew trees. 218 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,760 Oh, hang on, I might have chopped a bit too much off there, Judith. 219 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,040 Oh, wow. Well, don't worry about it. It will grow back. 220 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,000 Yeah, you said it grows back, right? Eventually. 221 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,680 These trees have been here for... Some of them probably 222 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,000 hundreds of years, but they're still carrying on. 223 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,920 And I think your faith is like that. It's a... It's a lifelong journey. 224 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,120 I think we need to have a rest now. 225 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,320 As much as Judith has put into the gardens, 226 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,600 they've also given her something back. 227 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,040 Did that become part of your faith journey, 228 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,240 you know, getting involved as a volunteer in the gardens here? 229 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Yes. I've always been a gardener at home, 230 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,800 but these gardens are special. They're special 231 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,160 because of the connection to Ushaw, to the Catholic Church, 232 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,200 and that's my faith. So when I volunteer here, 233 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:50,040 I can be immersed in the gardens, but feel the strength from it. 234 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,520 And these gardens took on a deeper significance at one point 235 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,680 recently in your life. Is that right? 236 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,120 I always come here on a Thursday morning every week, 237 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:04,400 and I had been going to visit my sister one Thursday morning 238 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,200 and unfortunately, I had a phone call from her son 239 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,480 the night before saying she had died unexpectedly. 240 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,880 I could have stayed at home, but the one thing I wanted to do 241 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,520 was actually come here. 242 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:28,520 I knew that would restore me if I was here in nature. 243 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,840 I would be able to cope with the emotion. 244 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,960 Do you feel that being out here in nature brings you closer 245 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,240 to your sister and those emotions that are so close to the surface? 246 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,800 Yes. I think coming here and looking at the trees 247 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,680 that are present in the garden, I can see in a tree 248 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,360 the strength in the trunk of the tree which supports the limbs, 249 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:56,120 the branches in the canopy of a tree, 250 00:26:56,120 --> 00:27:00,120 and I feel that I can perhaps draw from that strength 251 00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,480 and have a strength within me. 252 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,240 That helps me with my faith to support my family, 253 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,440 friends and a wider community. 254 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560 There are lots of favourite hymns. 255 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,640 I think Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace. 256 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,080 The words are so evocative and I think it just causes 257 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,880 so many emotions. 258 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,840 You know, "Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope. 259 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,280 "Where there is sadness, ever joy." 260 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,000 It's just such a wonderful hymn. 261 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,800 Next week we stay in the great outdoors, 262 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,680 as I explore the theme of mountains and why they too are 263 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,520 so important in the story of the Bible. 264 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,880 But now, a prayer from some of the people we've met today. 265 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,360 God, thank you for trees and the beauty of your creation. 266 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,360 Root us deeply in your word. May we find shelter in your branches 267 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,640 and offer shelter to a world in need. 268 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,040 Remembering that even the smallest seed can grow 269 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,520 by your grace into a kingdom of hope. 270 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,760 Grant us the strength to flourish by your living waters 271 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,040 today, and always. Amen. 272 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,520 What's really stood out to me today is 273 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,160 how much trees really mean to people. 274 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,760 There's a deep connection, spiritually and emotionally, 275 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,440 between us as Christians, the story of our faith 276 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,280 and the trees that surround us every day. 277 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,360 We finish with a hymn of thanks from here at Ushaw. 278 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,200 Praise With Joy The World's Creator. 279 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,040 Until next time. Goodbye.
