PDiB3 Origins: AMEN (Jester Hairston) (55* d) RE: AMEN 16 Mar 99

Here's how I remember (at least some of) it.

See the Little Baby... (Amen)
Laid in a manger... (Amen)
On Christmas Mornin'!... (Amen Amen, Amen)

See Him in the Temple...(A)
Talking with the elders... (A)
Who marvelled at his wisdom! (A, A, A)

See Him at the riverside ... (A)
Talkin' to the fishermen...(A)
And makin' them disciples!... (A, A, A)

(I know there's at least one more verse, and I can't remember how it starts. It relates the Crucifixion and Resurrection. The last line has a huge crescendo, and goes "BUT HE ROSE ON EASTER!" A-Amen, Amen, Amen!)

Thanks for calling this lovely and simple song of faith to mind. I love "Lillies of the Field"
