Lord Revive Us (Savior Visit Thy Plantantion)

[gjackson659]

On my way back from a Choral Eucharist held in St. James Cathedral in Toronto this morning, I heard a choral and instrumental version of this hymn. It particularly ministered to me, as I had been contemplating the sudden and unexpected death of our 21-year old on November 17th, 2010. She was a music education and vocal dual major in her final year in Nyack College. Thanks for posting this, so I could share the link on facebook.

oh it is wonderful to hear you play. Thank you for the opportunity to listen. I started playing the dulcimer a couple of months ago and I just love it. Jo Davidson

Very Nice David

Thanks for the lyrics and the history also. I had to dig out one of my hymnals because the melody on the refrain sounded very familiar. It sounds like parts of the refrain are very similar to Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing (and others with the same melody) which has a melody from supposedly an old folk tune named Nettleton that was written by either John Wyeth or Asahel Nettleton maybe aroun 1813. I think the two melodies are close but not the same.

Thanks

Dave
