Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. After wind, after rain, when the dark is done,

Shall we not yield him in costly devotion, As I wake from a dream in the gold of day, Odours of Edom and off’rings divine, Through the air there's a calling from far away, Gems of the mountains and pearls of the ocean, There's a voice I can hear that will lead me home. Myrhh from the forest or gold from the mine? Rise up, follow me, come away, is the call, With the love in your heart as the only song; The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard There is no such beauty as where you belong; As it fell on one holyday, As many be in the year, Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home. When young men and maids together did go

The Road Home 6 The Road Home 11 For God considered my lowliness Their matins and mass to hear, Behold, all generations shall call me blessed. Little Musgrave came to the church door – For God is mighty and has done wondrous things to me The priest was at private mass – Holy is the Lord of hosts But he had more mind of the fair women Those who fear the Lord will receive mercy Than he had of Our Lady's grace. Forevermore from generation to generation. Osanna! He has shown strength with his arm, He has put down the proud The one of them was clad in green, another was clad in pall, He has broken the wicked spirits. And then came in my Lord Barnard's wife, He plucked the mighty from their seats, exalting the humble The fairest amongst them all, Quoth she, "I've loved thee, Little Musgrave, The hungry will be filled with good things, Full long and many a day". In rememberance of his mercy, He helped Israel "So have I lov'd you, my fair ladye, Yet never a word durst I say". As promised our fathers, Abraham and his seed forever "But I have a bower at Bucklesfordberry, Full daintily it is dight, Glory to the father, Glory to the son, If thou'lt wend thither, thou Little Musgrave, Glory to the holy ghost. As it was in the beginning, Thou's lig in my arms all night." Now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen! With that beheard a little tiny page, by his lady's coach as he ran. Songbird Says, "Although I am my lady's foot-page, I am a songbird I will sing anything Yet I am Lord Barnard's man!" Give me a tune, I will spin you gold. Then he's cast off his hose and cast off his shoon, Closer you come to the songbird weaving, Set down his feet and ran, stronger the thread of the music’s hold. And where the bridges were broken down He bent he bow and swam. Feel in the breeze a breath a soaring "Awake! awake! thou Lord Barnard, song to you, and hear me say: As thou art a man of life! “I am a song bird; I will sing anything. Little Musgrave is at Bucklesfordberry Follow the breeze and come my way, come my way!” Along with thine own wedded wife". One little bird on a branch sits fanning He called up his merry men all: amber wings to the passersby. "Come saddle me my steed; Two little birds in flight are threading This night must I to Bucklesfordberry, webs of gold in an endless sky. F'r I never had greater need". Three little birds with brushes painting But some they whistled, and some they sang, moonlight sighs in the height of day. And some they thus could say, Four little birds with voices gleaming Whenever Lord Barnard's horn it blew: breathe to the wind singing “come my way!” "Away, Musgrave away!" Sing little birds so sweetly Drown my fears completely "Methinks I hear the threstlecock, Five little birds with feathers fluffing Methinks I hear the jay; stretch and spread in the midday sun Methinks I hear Lord Barnard's horn, Six little birds are cooing, humming, Away Musgrave! Away!" drawing the eyes of everyone. "Lie still, lie still, thou little Musgrave, Seven little birds in fountains splashing And huggle me from the cold; droplets soar, they fawn and play. 'Tis nothing but a shepherd's boy Eight little birds raise voices higher, A-driving his sheep to the fold. breathe to the wind singing, “come my way!” "By this, Lord Barnard came to his door

One Last Song Ewah buleh teraju tigo, Alah ewah teraju tigo Sing me one last song that will carry me away Wow, the three-cornered moon. To the warm summer memory of home And that old melody softly echoes on the breeze Magnificat To a pathway that I must walk alone Magnificat anima mea Dominum I have loved, I have lain My soul magnifies the Lord On the dewey morning fields And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior With a cloud of apple blossom in the air, So lay me down Osanna in excelsis!
