Thread Name: Lyr Req: Let the hurricane roar
Subject: Lyr Req: Let the hurricane roar
It's the title of a book by Rose Wilder Lane, daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder. It predates the "Little House" books and sort of tells the same story in one volume, from the point of view of Charles and Caroline (who are renamed in later editions; I have a second ed.) Supposedly it's an old-time song or hymn. The only words I have are: Let the hurricane roar! It will the sooner be o'er! We'll weather the blast, and land at last, On Canaan's happy shore!
I'd also like the tune. Google only comes up with references to the book. Anyone?
