Glorious. Sublime. The way she reads those words, "the half down here has never been told," is worthy of the highest praise. Some of the greatest phrasing in gospel history. And that opening chorus! Clara and Marion fill up that background. After their flowers and frills, Frances has to soar. And does she! MASTERPIECE!

Sang just the way that it should be. We used to sing it at church camp, but never with this much gusto.
