I add my praises to Jesus and all you nice people who have taken the time to contribute your thoughts and knowledge concerning this song called, Amen, along with its talented arranger, Jester Hairston. From Jim Dixon, I learned and copied down all the lyrics; from Marilyn Miller Campbell, I learned of her high regard for Mr. Hairston; and from Karen, I learned the youtube address to watch and hear this great composer/singer,director as he instructed and led a large chorus in singing Amen. It was fun for me to learn that Karen had been instructed by Mr. Hairston when she was in school, helping me to feel closer to him as I am a retired classroom teacher and my husband a retired band director. I sing at church and in a barbershop group for women and would still be interested in finding the sheet music for a quartet, which I also sing in and our chorus. On Sunday, I will lead our church congregation in this song and pray that I don't embarrass myself or anyone if I mess up. Thanks for this website. It is wonderful! Blessings to all! Kathy
