The people who in darkness walk, have seem a glorious light
On them broke forth the heavenly dawn, who dwelt in death and night
To hail thy rising son of life, the gathering nations come
Joyous as when the reapers bear, their harvest treasures home
Ye fearful saints fresh courage take, the clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break, in blessings on your head
Her purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour
The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower
Oh, spread thy covering wings around, till all our wanderings cease
And, at our mother’s loved abode, our souls arrive in peace
E’ven now by faith we join our hands, with those that came before
And greet the ever-living bands, on the eternal shore

We Are Alive
01:18
|
|||
"We are alive, and the earth is alive,
We have the power, to create our freedom,
If we have courage, we will, become healers,
And like the sun, we will rise
And like the sun, we will rise"

Divine Mystery
02:22
|
|||
Of the mother’s love begotten,
ere the worlds began to be,
she is alpha and omega,
she the source the ending she.
Of the things that are that have been,
and that future years shall see,
ever more and ever more.

In The Bleak Midwinter
03:21
|
|||
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter, long ago
What I can I give him, poor as I am,
If I were a shepard, I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man, I would do my part,
Yet what I can I give him, give my heart

Precious Lord
03:23
|

First Verse:
When my way, grows drear, precious lord, linger near
When my life, is al-most gone
Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand, lest I fall
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
Refrain:
Precious lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on, to the light
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
Second Verse:
When the darkness appears, and the night draws near
And the day, is past, and gone
At the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home

Lloyd
01:50
|
|||
My sister and my queen, thy beauties are divine
Thy lips, with blessings overflow, and every grace is thine
The smilings of thy face, how amiable they are
Tis heaven to rest, in thine embrace, and no where else but there
Nor earth nor all the sky, could one delight afford
No not, a drop, of they real joy, without thy blessings Lloyd.

Only With Thine Eyes
02:01
|
|||
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I'll not ask for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's[2] nectar[3] sip,
I would not change for thine.
I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honouring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be;
But thou thereon didst only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me,
Since when it grows and smells, I swear,
Not of itself but thee!

Farther Along
03:15
|
|||
Refrain:
Farther along we'll, know all about it,
Farther along we'll, understand why.
Cheer up my darling, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it, all by and by.
Elisabeth’s Original Verse:
“Why must I tremble, with fear in the nighttime, wake in the morning, with trouble in mind? May we be grateful, each moment of breathing, each moment of living, one day at a time.”
Samantha’s Original Verse:
“Lately I wonder, wand’ring in limbo, pining for answers, etched in the sky.
Help lift me out, love, out of the waiting, waken my senses, and quiet my mind.”
