Wonderful! The voices are magic, the athmosphere is brilliant and deep... thank you for posting this!

on jordan's stormy banks i stand,

and cast a wishful eye,

to Canaan's fair and happy land,

where my posessions lie.

This is the last song we sing at my church for furnerals. Many times me and other choirmembers have stood standing in the narthax, singing this as the remains of loved ones and other Fallen Saints of my church were carried out the doors.

It make you think about how we all have to cross the path of death one day alone but on the other side only if you have lived rihgt God has a home not made by hands .

[BABADUCATO]

When I first heard this in '74, I was trembling at the end of the song. Listen how Clara bends those last two words: Pro mi issed La a and.

[PrettyVillan]

We sing this as a chant...love the arrangement.
