Acca of Hexham

Acca of Hexham (c. 660 – 740/742) was a Northumbrian saint and Bishop of Hexham from 709 until 732.

Life

Born in Northumbria, Acca first served in the household of Bosa, the future Bishop of York, but later attached himself to Saint Wilfrid, possibly as early as 678, and accompanied him on his travels. Later he told his friend Bede of their stay at Utrecht with the saintly Archbishop Willibrord, Wilfrid's old pupil who was carrying on his work of converting continental heathens. On the return from their second journey to Rome in 692, Wilfrid was reinstated at Hexham and made Acca abbot of St Andrew's monastery there. During St Wilfrid's later years, Acca was the older man's loyal companion, eventually succeeding him in 709 as abbot and bishop.

Acca tackled his duties with much energy, in ruling the diocese and in conducting the services of the church. He also carried on the work of church building and decorating started by Wilfrid. Acca was both an accomplished musician and a learned theologian. He once brought to the North a famous cantor named Maban, who had learned in Kent the Roman traditions of psalmody handed down from Gregory the Great through Saint Augustine.

    And if I was wrong again
    What else have you kept from me
    I am in doubt
    What if all these people start a war.
    Once again
    Once again
    It's wrong to believe in it
    I should have been listening
    I know I'm wrong
    But what if all these people start a war.
    Once again
    They will try
    Once again
    They will try
    Words are just some things to hide
    The wonders I've been craving for too long
    Erase my mind and feed me with your love
    And let it all be as it was
    Once again
    They will try
    Once again
