Verse:Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the honour [glory] of thy name deliver us.  Psalm, 78, Verse 9a This noble and deeply-felt penitential motet proper to the first day [Ash Wednesday] and the first Sunday [Quadragesima] of the Lenten season is one of the very finest such works from the golden age of English polyphonic music.

Hymns and other song ministration were handled by Gospel Dynamics in the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Local of the Union. Some GHAMSU members of the 2003/2004 year group who were also part of Gospel Dynamics then thought it wise to establish a choir because the feel of Methodism was missing in the Union. It all started when Brother Ernest Morgan Acquah, Brother Ebenezer Edem Beble, Brother Charles Aaron Adams Ekuban and Brother Fredrick Amissah usually meet in the evenings to sing hymns. These brothers decided to establish a choir in GHAMSU. The then executives did not want to accept the decision of forming a choir simply because they thought the Union was doing alright with Gospel Dynamics. And that forming a new choir will bring tension and competition among the wings. Despite the challenges, we were able to convince some executives to support us. Also, our first lady, ...    less
