Still To Record

Music for Justice and Hope: The great amen

Music for Justice and Hope: Agnus Dei

The Virgin’s Slumber Song

1. Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; leave to your God to order and provide; in every change God faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2. Be still, my soul: your God will undertake to guide the future, as in ages past. Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake; all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know the Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3. Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

(Hezekiah Walker)

1 Let us break bread together on our knees (x2).
Chorus:
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun. O Lord, have mercy on me.
2 Let us drink wine together on our knees (x2). Chorus
3 Let us praise G-d together on our knees (x2). Chorus

(ZSS 123)
