Over 65 churches and Christian organisations from different denominations came together online on May 3 to sing a blessing over the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The You Tube video has been widely circulated through social media and has so far received more than 1.4m viewings.

Individual recordings of singers and musicians were combined to create a six-minute video that is wonderfully moving.

It aims to bring hope and encouragement to people during this difficult time and concludes with the message: "Our buildings may be closed, but the Church is alive!"
