Shape Note Song 'Mercy Seat,' (Cooper rev Sacred Harp)

[ClaireConrad]

Thank you for posting that this was the Harrod's Creek Shape Note Convention, Brownsboro KY, March 2008. Sorry that the third verse, your favorite, was not sung:

There is a scene where spirits blend,

Where friend holds fellowship with friend;

Though sundered far, by faith they meet

Around one common mercy seat.

Thanks for another posting from Harrod's Creek, PL. They are a great group. Can you tell me about the woman leading; is she a Catholic sister or...?????

@sospello She is an Anabaptist, possibly a Mennonite. In the video you can see a few other ladies wearing these headcoverings as well.
