New subject: FW: How Long O Lord

4 Jul 2017

      Jean Long here -
Lynda - in singing "If you miss the train..." and then the "How Long" - it
seems to me we wrote words to only the verse three times.  And my
enemies,,, starts the third verse.

Can't fit any words to fit the chorus -  "A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
a hundred miles, a hundred miles, you will hear the whistle blow a hundred
miles.

What a tune!  My group sang this in the 60s - with the Peter, Paul and Mary
harmony, of course.

Hey - might make copies of "The Other Singers" CD available in October.

Great memories,
Jean

Dear Ann and David,  I ran across this song today that was used in the
Ecumenical Institute with apologies to the original authors of the music.
In the spirit of John Wesley of putting religious words to familiar secular
songs, these words were put to songs.
I can’t get the words and music to come out right on the "How Long" song
from my memory.  I’ll be in Chicago this fall and I’ll try to get one of
the songbirds to sing it for me.  Anyway,  I thought of your plea.    I’m
enjoying reading “Hillbilly Elegy” by J. D. Vance which gives me hope that
things do change.
Praying for the G-20 event coming up this week in Brussels.

Singing the Prayer Song
PRAYER
Tune: Aravah (Hebrew)
When I see my life
ever is torn
And loved ones
violated
And my failures are daily reborn
Then sorrow with
heaven is weighted
Yet I can gladly em-brace every hour
And praise God’s
inequity
I can sing of my blessings that shower
My joy
inexpressible be.
Now here I stand
battered to and fro
The chaos within
yet surrounding
I cry out my want and
the lack that I know
And power from with-
out feel uplifting.
The weight of the world
on my shoulders I bear
I echo the
voices that cry
The path of Mankind
with my agony bent
And my God I’ll fight on
‘til I die.
And Psalm 13
PSALM 13
Tune: Five Hundred Miles
How long, O Lord, wilt thou quite forget me?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
How long must I suffer anguish in my soul,
grief in my heart, day and night?
How long shall my enemy lord it over me?
Look now and answer me, O Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death,
lest my adversary say, "I have overthrown him,"
and my enemies rejoice at my downfall.
But for my part I trust in thy true love.
My heart shall rejoice, for thou hast set me free.
I will sing to the Lord, who has granted all my desire.
