It was named after Kings Weston House near Bristol, England where in 1920 he completed his famous orchestral score of The Lark Ascending.

We Turn to You, O God

O God of Every Nation

We Turn to You, O God was written by Fred Kaan (1929- 2009), a minister of the United Reform Church in the United Kingdom. A prolific hymn writer, Kaan often fashioned the lyrics from the subject matter of his sermons. The words are set to the tune, Intercessor by English composer, teacher, and music historian Sir. Hubert Parry (1848-1918), best known for his choral work, Jerusalem. In the Liturgy of the Hours We Turn to You, O God is used during Ordinary Time for Morning Prayer.
