Parry: I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me
Atlanta Master Chorale; Dr. Eric Nelson, Conductor; Jonathan Easter, Organ
Turn the sound up. Please.
Listen.
Then listen again.
In the still night, at first watch,
A voice began to lament.
The night wind sweetly and gently
Carried the sound to me.
From bitter suffering and sadness
My heart has melted;
I have watered all the flowers
With my pure tears
The beautiful moon wants to set and
May never rise again because of its pain.
The Stars let their twinkle die;
They want to weep with me.
Neither a birdsong nor a sound of joy
Can be heard in the air.
The wild animals grieve also with me
On rocks and in ravines

When I find sacred music that hits me I usually save it for a Sunday Morning or Evening post.
I just can’t wait. I have to share this now. Because.
