[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Last week I wrote about the kinds of singing that I like (I may not know much about Music, but I know what I like!).     Now I want to give...

Stay, stay, until the hasting day Has run but to the evensong; and, having prayed together, we will go with you along. We have short time to stay as you, We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you or anything. We die as your hours do, and dry away Like to the summer’s rain; Or as the pearls of morning’s dew, Ne’er to be found again.  less

Steh des Nachts auf und schreie zu Beginn jeder Nachtwache, Schütte dein Herz aus vor dem Herrn wie Wasser. Hebe deine Hände zu ihm auf um des Lebens deiner junger Kinder willen, die vor Hunger verschmachten an allen Strassenecken! Herr, schaue und sieh doch Wen du so verderbt hast! Gedenke doch, wie ich so elend und verlassen, mit Wermut und Galle getränkt bin Du wirst ja daran gedenken; den mein...    less
