Jon Watts - "Dear Friends" (Quaker Hymn)

"Dear Friends, Dear Friends
Let me tell you how I feel
You have given me such treasures
I love you so."

Jon Watts grew up singing this hymn at Shiloh Quaker Camp, and went on to include it (along with an ensemble of students from the Quaker Leadership Scholars Program (QLSP) at Guilford College) on his epic musical exploration of Early Quakerism: A Few Songs Occasioned.

The project served to convict Jon of Quakerism (though born into the religion, Jon considers himself to have been a "cultural Quaker" up until this point).
