For as long as I can remember, I've been writing poetry - even getting one of my most mediocre primary school verses published in the Mayor of Eastleigh's annual poetry book as the winner of the under-12 category! My time in Seminary reinforced a love of Sacred Music, and my belief in the power of music to lift the mind and move the heart to God. Some point in the last five years I began to write hymns instead of poems. At my ordination and first Mass in March 2023, I tested out some of my hymns on other people for the first time; based on the responses (before they knew I had written them) I have decided to start making my hymns more widely available on this website. All of these hymns are set to well-known traditional tunes, so that congregations should have little trouble singing them!

If you want to use any of these hymns in a parish or community context, you are free to do so provided that they are attributed to 'Fr Edward Hauschild' - for other uses please contact me.
