Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Across the Bridge Where Angels Dwell
It's on Sara Grey's album "Sara," I think. We met her at Pinewoods two years ago. I believe she said she (or someone) found it in an old Carolina hymnbook. We've lent the CD to somebody or else we could look up the info for you in the liner notes...Sara doesn't sing it quite the way it's written above (for example, her version doesn't have "along the path where heaven lies,' unless memory fails me).

Water Sign has also recorded it, and their liner notes say it's a traditional hymn from Carolina (but then, they learned it from Sara, too).

You can contact Dave Kleiman of WaterSign at dmkleiman@worldnet.att.net - good luck
