Keith Duke studied music at the Royal Academy of Music in London, and taught music in secondary schools for twenty-five years. He held appointments as Organist and Choir Director in a number of churches before meeting David Adam, the priest-poet of Lindisfarne. Immediately attracted to David's texts as a 'whole new way of seeing my Christian faith', he has since worked closely with him on Lindisfarne to develop a style of song that is idiomatic to that holy place.

Story behind the song

Lindisfarne is a wonderful place for music; the wind forever sings over the waves and in the trees; the shingle, in the chorus, responds to the residents and migriants, each group with its own special song.The seals' song on a foggy night, or at the full moon, is something very special, a unique choir indeed. Three times a day the bell of St Mary's add its tongue to the voic of creation.

Lyrics

Come, my Lord, my light, my way;
come, my lantern night and day;
come, my healer, make me whole;
come, my Saviour, protect my soul;
come, my King, enter my heart;
come, Prince of peace, and never depart.

Come, my King, enter my heart;
come, Prince of peace, and never depart.
